If you could only have three (3) which would they be?

DJs have it. In the cosmetic section. Some chemists have it as well.
 
I just checked on line and there are loads of chemists that have it. Thanks for the heads up. Only problem is that I've got two loads of Nivea and it'll be a while before I need any more. Sod it I'll be a devil and flout my own "nothing new until the old is gone' rule and buy some.
 
Some great ideas and suggestions from others. Here is my next category.

Shaving Creams
Occams - I prefer the original but you can get the flavour you prefer
TOBS - flavour of your choice
Proraso Sandalwood

It was a tough decision for the final spot. I was originally thinking of any T&H cream - they are great creams - but I think a lot of us have a soft spot for the Proraso Sandalwood which just shaved them out.

Is the Proraso Sandalwood, the Proraso Red? I love me Reds - IP Reds, Proraso Red, Winfield Red…oh that's right I gave that glorious habit up. Damn it!!!

Yes indeed as has been said - great cream!
 
Better catch up with some more entries!

Let's do a couple of categories.

'Budget' soaps/creams
Euro Palmolive sticks
Figaro Almond soap
Godrej cream

After shave splashes
Proraso Menthol and Eucalyptus
Olagalla Bay Rum - flavour of your choice
Tabac
[Pinaud Clubman - your choice]

After shave lotions/ balms
Lucky Tiger Aftershave and Face Tonic
Penhaligon's Opus 1870 aftershave balm

I realised that I could have almost gotten the Proraso soap into the budget category but thought better of it. This is for the cheapies and as I demonstrated this does NOT have to mean ARKO!.

shaving.ie has ARKO! (75g) at GBP2.54 or 3.21 Euro.

Connaught has Euro Palmolive (2 x 50g) at GBP 2.70

Gifts and Care has the wonderful LaToja (50g) at 2.27 Euro

Why would anybody buy ARKO! ???

I put four splashes in as I only used two lotions/balms :)

Not only that but your local Indian store would probably have godrej for just a couple of bucks too.

Yes, I knew there was another I was thinking of. That stuff is great - might have to edit my post!
 
Time for another category - Razor blades!

I'll save Razors and Brushes for another time.

Blades:
Vintage Schick
Vintage Wilkinson Sword
Vintage Gillettes

I'm with @Pjotr on this one!

Still time for others to play - any category :)
 
How about?

Favourite ways of lathering:
Face
Bowl
Palm

Tough choice for the last spot. Soup mug was a close contender but the palm beat it.

Oh, and GT: it's the left palm.

No vintage Personna ?
 
OK this is a tough one ....

Razors
Gillette British Aristocrat #16 (closed comb)
Gillette British Aristocrat #15 (open comb)
Gillette L1 Slim Adjustable (birth year)

A tough call but I think I could live with these!
 
Razors
Feather Artist Club SS, Kamisori
Gillette Slim Adjustable 1963
Futur

My Feather AC is just fun and gives a superb shave, my favourite by far.

PS. Still using my Plisson Synthetic, my now favourite brush.
 
Better get back and finish this off!

Brushes
Vintage butterscotch Simpson 'Duke'
Vintage butterscotch distressed Culmak re-knotted by @Pjotr in TGN Finest
Vintage butterscotch Simpson '41' -re-knotted by Simpson in 'Pure' - my first vintage butterscotch brush...

So I think I'm done.

Any other thoughts from people?

Might compile into a common list.
 
@Mark1966 's razor collection
@Mark Watterson 's brush collection
Hmm, now has an unbelievable stash of creams/soaps/blades ?
