Remember your razor is only a double edge (not a straight). I posted on this subject a year or two back, requiring a straight razor — next chance I get I will resurrect the subject with the straight, too. This time let's do the double edge. Only one example of each item, please. Here is my choice:

Double edge: Feather all stainless steel
Blades: Feather
Brush: Thater 24 mm.
Pre-shave: Castle Forbes
Soap: Martin de Candre
Cream: Castle Forbes
Nick repair: styptic pencil
Astringent: alum block
Balm: Trumper's Coral Skin Food
Aftershave: Truefitt & Hill's Spanish Leather
Incidental: Thayer's Super Medicated Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera

Again, only one item per category, please. Thanks.

Regards,

Obie

Double edge: Merkur 39C Slant
Blades: Medical Personna
Brush: Rooney 3/1
Pre-shave: none
Soap: Poraso
Cream: Poraso

Balm: Nivea without alcohol
Aftershave: Bay Rum
