    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.

    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.

    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)

    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.
