You only get one...

Okay guys, times are tough. SCAD, RAD and any other "AD" has been elimimated. You have to sell ALL of your gear, save for one razor, one shaving cream/soap, one fragrance and one balm/moisturizer. What do you keep? What is your absolute favorite "go to" gear?

Such a choice would be impossible - I would be forced to kill all you guys and take your stuff to satisfy my addiction.... :a13: :a33: :devil:

Concur! DITTO!
Then again... Gillette M3P with a can of Gillette Foamy. If I am going to be miserable, I may as well be really miserable! :001_tt2:

If I'm going to shaving "hell", just give me back my "you name the brand" electric!! :scared:

Randy, that's a tough one. I would keep my Hoffritz Slant bar, Trumpers Coconut shave cream, Harris Milk AS and Floris Sandalwood EDT.

[robofunk]

i'd have to say don't touch my injector str8.
hands off my kmf lavender shave cream!
stop eyeing my musgo real aftershave...
leave the alum block alone or die!

[roughrider]

If it ever came to that, I guess most of the guys here would use the cut throat to do just that, cut their throats. :eek: :biggrin:

[Cliff]

Wow, down to one of each. Hmmmmm........easy decision actually.

Would have to be:

Schick injector w/Feather blade
Simpson Harvard#4 brush
CAR shave cube
Castle Forbes Lime shave cream
CAR hydrosol (BayRum)
CAR moisturizing aftershave (Peppermint)
JHL Cologne

[Rudd4Prez]

AOS lavender cream
Nivea after shave balm

[alpster]

Proraso pre-shave
My personally turned best badger brush
Feather AC DX Non-folding w/pro blade

Wow.......2005

[aihpcfl]

Easy for me. My DE89L is my only DE razor and I'm pleased. I'll keep it. And so far every blade I've used is ok, even Derby Extra, which are inexpensive, so I'll keep those. I use a Col. Conk pure badger brush that is adequate and isn't shedding. I'll keep that. That leaves soap and aftershave. I'm using Col. Conk Bay Rum soap, which is ok, but I have MWF on the way and have high hopes for that. I'll gamble and say I'll keep the MWF. As far as aftershave, any Bay Rum will do.

[Rudd4Prez]

Wow.......2005


I know right? It is sometimes fun to go back and look at the old threads. There are like 1600 something pages worth. I believe rtaylor61 (http://badgerandblade.com/vb/member.php/5-rtaylor61) is still around as well.

[KCee]

No! I still have so much stuff to try!!!

With my extremely limited knowledge, I would pick the following:
EJ89 w/ Weber handle
Astra SP blade
EJ Best Badger brush
TOBs Shaving Shop cream
Thayers WH w/ Aloe
Nivea Sensitive ASB

The EJ89 w/ Astra is idiot proof (I'm proof of that) and I love the smell of Shaving Shop.

[mistercitizen]

This could take some thought....

1953 (Y2) Gillette President / Gillette Silver Blue blade
Savile Row 3824 Silvertip Badger Brush
Georgetown Pottery G20 Ivory Scuttle
Acqua di Parma Colleczione Barbiere Crema da Barba
Acqua di Parma Colonia Intensa AS Lotion / Balm
Witch Hazel / Glycerin
Myrsol Metilsol Astringent AS Splash

I hope it never comes to this..... :scared:

Edwin Jagger Chatsworth Lined Chrome
Rooney Heritage Emillion
Edwin Jagger Sandalwood Cream
Edwin Jagger Sandalwood Moisturizing A/S Lotion
Geo. F. Trumper Spanish Leather Cologne

[SamF]

Razor: 34C - it's my only razor, so easy to decide
Blade: Astra SP - this was much harder. I love both Astras and Feathers. I took Astras because they're generally my daily blade, where as Feathers are for when I've got a bit of growth. Also, Astras last longer, and are cheaper
Soap/Cream: Cella - Have other soaps that I very much like such as MWF and Arlington, but nothing comes close to Cella in performance for me.
Brush: Simpson's Colonel - I pretty much use it for 70% of my shaves now, so it's not a hard choice
AS Balm: Taylors Jermyn St balm - great stuff, very soothing and moisturising and smells amazing.

[FL shaver]

34C
Astra SP
Glyce Lyme preshave soap
La Toja soap (narrowly edges MWF and Cella)
Musgo Real ASB (possibly mixed with a little 444 ASB)

[musicman1951]

[ItsAllGravy]

Razor: English Aristocrat #15
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Black
Brush: Neep 26x48 Stone Extra Silvertip

iKon open comb
Voskhod
my old TOBS 'pure' brush
Proraso pre
Tabac cream
Alum bloc, any will do
Flow id Bee lew
Speick aerosol deodorant spray
and perhaps some TOBS no. 74 'hair tonic' (if this happens when I still have hair).
