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.
