Here are mine:

Re: island Question / 4 only
Semogue 1305 boar brush
Valobra hard soap (Valobra Shave Stick, Valobra unscented in a cake, old AoS)
Mergress razor
Personna Hospital Use/Med Prep blades
I might note that there are many other blades that I really like, as well: Tiz (Iranian brand), PermaSharp Super, Super Iridium, Treet Dura Sharp, and others.
Since I simplified my lathering technique from lathering in a bowl to lathering on top of the cake of soap, I have found that the lowly Semogue 1305 boar brush works better for me than any badger, synthetic, or other boar brush (with the possible exception of the Semogue 830, made with the same grade of boar bristle).

Re: island Question / 4 only
That's a good reminder. I have a beard that I trim/shape constantly, so I would need to remember the scissors, as well.fallingwickets wrote:as always, gary has one eye on the future LOL4. Scissors to trim any beard I might decide to grow
