    Default What would you choose as your one of everything set up?

    Some random disaster happens and all of your shaving equipment is destroyed. You are allowed to get 1 stone (maximum 1 slurry stone), 1 shave ready razor, and a brush/strop if you want to add that in. The set would be your last set what do you think you would choose? Set can be expensive or inexpensive just whatever you would go with. Thought this would be a fun question to ask

    I think I would go with a 5/8 square point Puma, and a 3"x6" Ozuku asagi not to hard/ about as fine as a 12k stone with tomo.
    Strop I would want a small strop with leather that gave a little bit of draw and a silver tip badger brush.

    Wade & Butcher 9/8, Celebrated FBU, Shavemac D01-2 band brush, Escher's Barber's Delight razor hone, Kanayama #60000 strop.

    ..and PannaCrema Nuavia soap, whether Blu, Verde, or Rossa...whatever I grabbed first.

    I'd have to go with a Rigarazor 10/8 in the Wade & Butcher style
    A silver tipped Badger brush, made by MikeB52 or HarryWally
    A 12k Nani SS
    Kanayama 90000


    And of course some Castle Forbes Lavender or Krokos

    I've thought about this often. I would replace my 6/8 vintage Bismarck, my Simpson's Classic 1. A working coticule, another TM strop, and could be satisfied using Green Mountain Lime and Vetiver soap for the duration. I think I would miss my Turkish Oilstone finisher the most.

    Any chance this disaster could happen in a few weeks?? as I have a Gokumyo 20k hone that will arrive and also a pair of synthetic brushes.

    Failing me not being able to wait.

    it would be my Portland razor co Kraken, short with blued blade.
    Vintage coticule paddle hone (its just more versatile than my CF+ slurry stone)
    Omega Pro boar (I know its a cheap brush but I like it)
    SRD 3'" wide Latigo strop
    Signature shave soap (its a big ish tub so will last me)

    I dislike thinking in this vein because it would tempt me to pare down the hone collection!

    I'd probably grab my Wade & Butcher, Raven barber hone, SRD buffalo strop, and Captain's Choice Bay Rum soap.

    I would have to grab the following:

    Koraat 7/8th razor
    Naniwa 12K
    Traditional Shaving silver tip badger brush (large)
    Michael Waterhouse strop large with linen backing
    D.R. Harris soap

    Whilst you weren't looking I would also sneak in some Castle Forbes lime shaving cream. I know that's cheating but there's a disaster going on so I don't think anyone will notice.

    Stone: Thurry
    Razor: I tend to grab either a Genco Easy Aces or a Ran-Tan-Ka-Rus; if I could only have one it would be one of my Greaves
    Brush: Thater (silvertip? I don't remember what exactly it is)
    Storp: SRD English Bridle

    Soap: MWF (even though you didn't ask)
