    Gentlemen:

    My choices are as follows:

    Straight Razor: Wacker 6/8" hollow point 1st Edition Sheffield
    Strop: SRD Premium 1
    Hone: Thuringian
    Soap: Martin de Candre
    Cream : Castle Forbes
    Brush: Thater 24 mm
    Astringent: Alum block
    Aftershave Balm: Trumper's Coral Skin Food
    Aftershave: Truefitt & Hill's Spanish Leather
    Incidental Oskar scuttle

    And naturally a bottle of cognac for medical purposes — in case I nick myself.

    Regards,

    Obie

    Tough one. I haven't used a huge selection of shaving equipment, but here's my list. I'm sure that as I try more items this list will change.

    Razor: My fixed-blade 7/8 wedge in ivory. It just feels perfect in my hand and I feel it would survive the apocalypse on its own.

    Strop: SRD Premium IV. This is my only hanging strop right now, and I couldn't ask for more.

    Hone: My little Honyama

    Brush: I think I'd go with my 20mm Vulfix boar with desert ironwood handle. It just works shockingly well. Though I might change my mind to an 18mm silvertip with similar handle.

    Soap: Fitjar Miklagard

    AS: Whoever suggested bringing girls instead of aftershave has the right idea.
