After 32 months of DE shaving, suffice it to say I have tried quite a variety of razors, blades, soaps, creams, you name it, not to mention the $$$ spent! But the journey has been well worth it. I am now in the position of being able to say that all of my AD's are under control and my 'den' has now stabilized.
This is what I have settled on. By comparison, my den is somewhat minimalist, but that is what I have searching for and have now found. This is what gives me fantastic shaves.....
Razors: in rotation, '51 Tech, '64 SS, '61 Gold Slim
Blade: Derby
Brushes: Tweezerman, Omega boar
Soap: VDH Deluxe
AS: Skin Bracer
Balm: Bigelow Black Elixer
There it is. Nothing fancy, but it works. Yes, I have tried much more expensive soaps, creams, and balms, but I keep coming back to those listed. They just plain work for me.
Oh, and the icing on the cake: the SS was my father's, the Slim was my father-in-law's, and the Old Spice mug was my grandfather's. They provide a constant reminder of these great gentlemen who were a part of my life.
Thank you for your indulgence.

BTW, skin bracer is highly underrated.
