    Default Your Best Line-up

    OK, this type of desert island stuff has been done before, but well, opinions change. So, look at all the stuff you've got and used, and if god-forbid, you decided to take up the stoic lifestyle and limited yourself to one of each, what would it be?

    Doesn't matter if you just have a handful, or a shavedenful, just one.

    Production Razor: Puma 7/8
    Custom Razor (if applicable): Livi 7/8 Takeda
    Brush: Duke 3 Best (Pre-Fix)
    Shaving Cream: Castle Forbes Lime Oil
    Shaving Soap: Tabac
    Aftershave splash: Alt Innsbruck
    Aftershave lotion: Mama Bear Lime Ice

    Production Razor: Shumate Admiral
    Brush: Kent BK2
    Shaving Cream: Ingram (blue tube)
    Shaving Soap: Honeybee Mountain Meadow
    Aftershave splash: Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue
    Aftershave lotion: Mennen Afta (Original)


    Actually, my two every day items are Honeybee Soap and AV Ice Blue. I like the old American razors, and the Shumate is my best one. I'm rotating it at present with a Geneva and a Clauss.

    Razor: Wapienica
    Brush: I only have one: my cheap eBay Chinese badger hair brush
    Shaving Cream: Proraso (the only one I remember trying!)
    Shaving Soap: That no-name ex-barber's soap that ByronT passed out at the '08 Asheville meet
    Aftershave splash: Master's bay rum (the only one I remember trying)
