I've spent the last few weeks lurking on here, and figured it was about time to say hello. I've been using a brush and soap to lather for several years, but just recently made the jump to DE. After lurking on here for a bit, my technique is now light years ahead of where I began. My current collection is pretty small, but I can see that being on here will change that pretty fast. Current arsenal includes:
Proraso pre/post shave cream
Razor - 1940's Super Speed
Still trying out blades, but so far 7 O'Clock blacks are my favorites.
Brushes:
Rooney ?? Super Badger - this was a gift, so I'm not exactly sure which model it is, but its pretty big. I'll try to remember to put a pic of it up.
Edwin Jagger medium silvertip - faux horn
MWF soap
TOBS Eton College shave cream for uberlathering
After only being on here a few weeks, I've now got a Simpson Wee Scot and a bottle of Floid Blue on the way as well. DE shaving is supposed to be less expensive, right?

Nice collection of stuff. I like the 7 O'clocks, too. I have an SS that I use for touch ups and for shaving my head when I'm in a hurry - I likes.

Welcome to Badger and Blade. Most of us here have a foible for a certain part of our shaving kits (be that brushes, razors, soaps, after shave etc) but if you are really lucky you may even begin to collect Acquisition Disorders!

I agree with a previous post. I'm enjoying my AD quite a bit. It's a lot cheaper than some of the other"hobbies" I have in the last many years.
Wishing I was back on the AT.

Greetings and Salutations to B&B! I have decided to keep my collection on the small side. Two razors, stands for each, a couple of brushes and a few creams. Hope I can stick to this.
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.
