Rockwell 6S on R3
Rockwell Swedish Stainless Blade (seriously digging these, you need to try them)
Striling Anything, but namely Ozark Mountian
Proraso Green Preshave
Ozark Mountain AS Splash
Whipped Dog Übersoft Synthetic

Those Rockwell blades are unbelievable! I didn't have high hopes for them, but they were a really pleasant surprise. Great choice!

LOL onethinline, that's the one from the originals that I am anxiously awaiting (though a friend of mine obsesses over Cheshire) Tongue. I only wish Vetyver Santal was coming back in Glissant Sad.

My go-to setup:

- Ikon 102
- Personna Med Prep
- Shave Revolution Stubby synthetic
- Soaps are really hard, but the immediate grabs right now would be either Beaver Woodwright Ghost Ship,
Catie's Bubble's Saturday Morning, or B&M Seville
- Thayer's Alcohol-Free Witch Hazel

I must try Seville as my next new Barrister & Mann but first I need to replace my Cheshire with the new Glissant formula.  The old Cheshire's donut hole is widening at the bottom of the jar. Big Grin

Tomorrow it will change, but today:

Muhle R41 2011
Feather blade
Georgetown G12 scuttle (I use it every day)
Meissner Tremonia shaving paste (any of my three, but I really like Strong 'N Scottish)
Myrsol Emulsion as a pre-shave (I use it every day)
Mass quantities of Floid Vigoroso aftershave splash (although I've really enjoyed my past four shaves with Barrister's Reserve)
Plisson synthetic

OneBlade
GEM PTFE
Plisson synth
Nuàvia Rossa
B&M Tonique Or Barrister's Reserve splash in a scent to pair nicely with Nuàvia Rossa & Amouage Jubilation XXV.

And I'm spent.

If it's cloudy I'm likely to  go earthy and dark, if it's sunny I may choose something citrus and light.  I've simply ended up with too much great stuff to play favorites.  Eventually they all get their turn because I really don't own anything I don't like.  That is, after all, the key to happiness.  It's not having everything you want, it's wanting everything you have.

This would be me, but I don't like Tabac. I seem to reach for a vintage gillette or my S1 one the most often.

Well said indeed!

Great set of optics!

I can't pick a favorite because it does change all the time and I actually do enjoy the stuff I have. Part of what makes me enjoy it so much is the revisit when it has been some time between uses.

It's a great time to get into wet shaving!

Good to hear on the Rockwell blades too. I have a tuck but have not used any yet as I just assumed they'd be middle of the road. Need to break 'em out.

As a fellow head shaver, it depends on whether I'm shaving the face or the dome, and how much growth I have.

Average Head Shave
Stirling Sharp Dressed Man
Stirling 26mm Synthetic
Fatboy with Custom Blade Gaps, wide open to 11.
Perma-Sharp Super blade
Custom Witch Hazel (Lilac at the moment) followed by unscented balm or Nivea Creme

Average Face Shave
Stirling Sharp Dressed Man or Executive Man
TGC Synthetic
2013 R41 with Spitfire Top Cap on Razorock Barberpole Handle
Perma-Sharp Super blade
Pinaud Clubman Original

I may go with a little bit milder razor, or use my Whipped Dog 24 Synthetic for my face depending on growth. Others get rotated in for variety, but I would be perfectly happy to only use the stuff I just mentioned.
