If you had to pare down to the barest of what you needed
Merkur Futur
Feather Blades
Vulfix brush
C&F Lavender
Proraso Pre/Post
And of course my moss scuttle. I could always use the fire to heat up some of the fire hydrant water in the scuttle, giving me endless passes of warm lather while I watch the fire consume the house.

I try to keep things fairley simple - but I'd have to say my key 'go-to' kit is as follows:
Gillette Fatboy
US Personna blades
Rose Apothecary Vullfix OEM best badger brush
Homemade travel container for brush
C&E Sweet Almond Oil cream
Limes Skin Food
The Body Shop Face Protector
Small IKEA stainless steel mixing bowl

Futur (hey, I shave my head too, and I use 2 different razors, so I get to take 2 with me!)
Feather blades
SR 208 brush
Taylor's Avocado
Ja Nene High Sierra A/S (really this is a toner with a strong scent)
C&E Shave Balm
Headslick Glossy
I don't use the Feather blades for shaving my head, they are overkill for that, but I can pick up a back of Personnas for a couple bits, so I wouldn't waste time grabbing any of my Derby's or Israeli's.

I can't answer this, however in pondering it I have placed all my shaving equipment in a fire proof grab bag. The problem would be getting the moving truck to the house in time to save it...

Set a man on fire, he'll be toasty for the rest of his life.

For my _shaving_ stuff: my SMF1 brush and my str8 rotation pack (http://www.straightrazorplace.com/image ... GP0277.JPG). I would grab other lethal implements from my abode before my razors, however.

Well I just had to do this, because I'll be working away from home for the summer.
I took 1 small mug + 2 cakes of Col. Conk soap, Amber + Almond. I'm using the almond right now (forgotten how nice it was), I will use the amber when it runs out. Conk goes very fast, and the soap extra cake was pretty small, and cheap enough to throw out if I absolutely had to. So it was worth taking.
A Simpsons Harvard #3. I just used the box it came in when I packed it -- no fancy travel containers for me.
I took a strop and a DOVO stainless steel razor, because I figured it would hold it's edge the longest. Hones are fragile and heavy (for their size), so I didn't take one. I took a Merkur HD + 3 packs of Feather blades (waaaay more then enough, but a DE pack is pretty small so no reason not to be sure I had enough). Finally a Hess EZY Shave disposable blade straight razor + a tiny 5-pack of hair shaper blades. It also uses injector blades, which I can find at drugstores. That way I have a backup for my straight razor if it gets to dull or damaged or whatever.
