OK, here goes for me. We'll use a standard "six-shooter" format for each category:

Blade: Dorco 301, Super Max Platinum, Astra SP, red pack Personna, Iridium, store-brand Personna
Cream: TOBS Shave Shop, Derby Lemon, Trumper GFT, Old Spice Original (India), EJ Aloe Vera, Star & Rose (shave stick)
Let's see what we get.....

Let us know how it goes.
Double whammy!
The blue 38 is more razor than I need. With the Iridium and I'd better have 911 on speed dial.
The EJ is one of my gems, so we'll see how it protects me.
What, no aftershaves or EdTs? C'mon, that's what makes it stick!
OK. Just for you, a few chances at revenge: Pinaud Bay Rum, Lustray Coachman (like Clubman), Lustray Spice, Osage Rub, Trumpers Sandalwood.

At least it wasn't a dry shave with an R41 and a Feather.
Sounds good, that's my shave tomorrow. You got one bullet, the Shark SS. It's not a bad blade, but not one of my favs.

Have fun!
I had a very interesting shave with this combo today. Started out smelling only the MWF on the fisrt pass, second pass was a balance between GIT and MWF, third pass was a strong GIT scent with very little MWF. I was surprised to smell this as I would assume it would have all been mixed together equally throught the shave. What caused this I have no clue but it was great to have a scent change throughout the shave!

Wow. That's wild.
Now if only those results were repeatable I would be shaving like that everyday with all different combinations.

Slimy, cold sandalwood!
Courtesy of gash and BrookR1, this morning's shave was the blue handled 38 with an Iridium. EJ AV cream, topped off with Trumper's Sandalwood.
I've already had three shaves w/ the Iridium this week in my HD, so this will bring it up a notch.
The razor and blade are a mighty combo I would have shied away from.
The saving graces here were the EJ cream and the Trumpers Sandalwood, which are two of my favorite products.
Let's just say that my face is telling me that it's been shaved.
Some irritation and weepers. A drop of glycerine added to the A/S is helping to calm things.
OK, who's next?

This was my shave today. Not bat at all, the shark blad was ok, (my least favorite part of todays shave). The Colgate soap performed great.

Choose my weapons!
Soap/cream: Acca Kappa 1869 cream (in the tub), Provence Sante verlaine soap, RazoRock King Louis lavender soap
Straight razor: Bengall 5/8, Schulze 6/8, Torrey 5/8
This may test my honing ability, as only one of the razors is shave-ready.
