Ryan here checking in for the first time. Long time reader though.
Been wet shaving for 7 years or so now, but only got serious in the past couple years.
I use:
-Razor: '57 Gillette Flare Tip Super Speed (I found this guy for only $5) or '27 Gillette Old Type 102a (my first DE razor). For travel an old Mach 3, silly airline regulations.
-Blade: Haven't landed on a favorite blade yet (been using CVS brand and Derby) thinking about getting a sample pack.
-Lather: l'Occitane Cade soap puck. For travel I've been trying out various shave creams: ToOBS, Proraso, AoS and so far I prefer them in that order.
-Brush: Just upgraded from my first brush, a nylon l'Occitane, to a best badger, a steal at only $8 from CO Bigelow. For travel I use the l'Occitane travel shaving brush.
-Pre-shave: Oil that I make using 1/3 Jojoba, 2/3 Grapeseed, and a few drops of sweet orange blossom essential oil per ounce. In the most recent batch I added pepper to it.
-Post-shave: This is always up to the SO, she's got a superior sense of smell. Nothing special right now, and always welcome to suggestions.
Cheers and see you around.

I'm not really sure how that works, but anyway welcome!
