Guys, What is your go to no frills, no fuss shave setup. What are the things that you use to make that great shave?
Mine would be , Gem Jr featherweight, PAL blades, Palmolive cream from the tube, and Brut aftershave. It is simple, no frills, no extra work, and gives consistent shaves that I know will be good no matter what I have going on. It can be classed up if I want to, but will stand on its own for any day of the week.
So I want to know what yall use, and what you like. Lets hear em folks!

My go to setup is an ER '24, a GEM SS PTFE blade, one of my soaps and the matching splash. Any brush will do, but if I had to pick just one it would be a synthetic.

This, really. Schick Injector adjustable, Meißner Tremonia Mint Ice Menthol soap and aftershave, Frank Shaving synthetic brush. I have dozens of other razors (cut-throat, and single edge), but this setup simply works most efficiently and effectively.

Schick I1 and Wickham vegetal shaving soap is what I use 90% of the time. I’ve sold all my other razors except two others which I almost never use. An Omega boar ovangkol wood handle because it’s all I have. It’s great though.

Wow...this is a cool thread! I'm looking forward to seeing how everyone fesses up! }8^)) I'm going to be back and state my signature set up....but right now I'm in flux. And I am making a few changes...I'd also like to hear from De Cats...which paraphanelia you guys had in former signature kits and which things you have used the longest....even if they aren't in your current signature kit.

I posted that video awhile back. This has been my signature shave for years. Besides someone has to be the star.

I'd say Phoenix & Beau Spitfire, one of my Synthetic brushes, Schick G with modern personna injector, Myrsol Emulsion and Pinaud, either Clubman or Special Reserve.

Geez, I should have let all y'all go first, looks like I'm the "low class" version here. Just kidding! Great stuff guys. I will ha e a chance to test my go to gear in about a week when I go on a 4 day vacation to North West Texas for a birthday. It will be a shave in 2 different hotels, and a Uncle's house. This should help refien my tastes, just to make sure.
