    Been wet shaving now for about a year (got my 1st DE razor Jan 2009) and this is the gear I've accumilated.

    RAZORS
    Merkur 180
    Parker 90r "Butterly"

    BRUSH
    Van Der Hagan Boar Hair

    SHAVE CREAMS
    Taylor of Old Bond Street: Lavender, Rose, Eton College

    AFTERSHAVE
    Nivea Sensitive Shave Balm
    Thayer's Rose Witch Hazel

    So that's my daily shave gear, what's yours?

    Also, what are some things you want to get?

    Most of my current "stuff" is in my signature. I really want to get some Castle Forbes shaving cream, pre-shave and AS balm. Another straight or two wouldn't hurt as well. Got my eye on a Boker Edelweiss.

    My daily set up includes:
    CF Pre-Shave
    1 of 2 Rooney Heritage brushes
    40's Super Speed with Shark Super Chrome blades
    Too many soaps and creams to list them all, but Trumpers Violet and Musgo Real creams and Valobra, AoS and Penhaligons English Fern soaps are favorites
    Any L'Occitane ASB, CF Lavender ASB and Trumpers Coral Skin Food finish things off nicely.
