Thanked: 133What 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.

A 12k Nani SS

Thanked: 38I'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.

This would be a hard choice for me because I have used many razors that have worked well.
Not much experience with strops other than the ones I made myself so it would be hard to pick another.
Soaps and brushes from my limited experience I have made most of them work.
The only thing I can think of for sure would be the hone and that would be a Norton 4/8K. Arguably not the best or perfect but I know I could hone any razor I have used shaveable from a bevel set on it.
