I also wonder but then the price and variety dissuades me from experimenting.

Same here. Been tempted a few times, but not been able to justify the cost thus far.

I've at least managed to rescue the FS from Wifeberts grubby mitts, and given her a horse brush to do her legs with. So now I am back to an FS Badger, and an Omega 10005 boar.
 
Good to know re FS badger filo, I just got my bro a cheap FS $25 badger to try edge him towards a habit, leading to addiction hopefully. Paired it to some jermyn street. If that doesn't work I dunno what will!
 
I have FS, TGN Pjotr and Simpson. The Pjotr is maybe my best. But they are similar just depends on how u like it. I have 3 FS brushes. One is soft and floppy. Don't rate it
 
I'll say this before anyone else can. Unfortunately I am too cheap to be paying even that heavily discounted price @stillshunter
 
Brush: Simpsons Duke 2
Soap/Cream: TOBS Mr. Taylor's
Razor: Weber PH
Blade: Personna Med Prep (3)
After-shave: DR Harris Arlington balm

A good shave from the PCTB2 more here.
 
You are in luck - for I have none of either.

I do however have a lovely line in Shogun or Vintage West German Solingen (no less) Punktal blades if I can raise any interest in a swap?

I don't think I have anything else worth swapping except the Eclipse red ring, and that's going nowhere at the moment.

No sniggering at the back Pjotr

Sorry mate I've not caught the vintage blade bug, but boy I could be persuaded by that Red Ring. All ears if you change your mind mate.
 
Shave number 8 (?) on the P74 and it's showing no signs of wanting to slow down and take a seat on the bench. Another great 2 pass shave with the
Omega 10005
Nanny's ice and a slice
Red ring
And floid vigoroso

To change things up slightly for the next shave I an going to give the ice and a slice soap a breather and finally try out some godrej menthol mist.
 
Just had to go back to do a recount. Shave No 8 with the P74 here too. It's now officially joined the Spoiler as a great vintage blade.
BS re-knot
SIM cream
 
Brush: Muhle Synthetic Travel Brush
Soap/Cream: Euro Palmolive Stick
Razor: Gillette Sensor Excel cartridge 'system'
Blade: Gillette Sensor Excel cartridge
After-shave: Booster Oriental Spice

Final London shave - did another famous antique market today with zero to show for it. Went into a nearby Penhaligon's and was overwhelmed by the smell choice again!

Can't wait to get home

Shucks....you don't have to say that!!!! Always knew you had style. Can't recall what your opinion of Arko is though.

I have been careful to avoid the ARko!!! debate as I have never tried it. Currently working through a Tabac stick and then have some latorja and some other German stuff.

To be honest I am overloaded with shave and other bathroom things and am trying to reduce my stockpile haha.

Took a job in Kazakstan, start in Jan and seriously looking at choosing one of each item.

Best razor, best blade, best brush, best soap and face/hair products suitable for that region.

Congratulations! (Yes?!)
Short or long term? At least you'll still have Internet hey!
Be a tad bit freezing in that neck of the woods, especially at that time of year... I think you ought to pack a scuttle and your face will love you for it.

A scuttle? He'll be living in a ger, drinking yaks milk for breakfast with boiled sheeps testicles as a treat. Lucky to have hot water let alone faffing around with a scuttle.
