while i am newbie....my current setup is on the double edge shaving.
Started with the Merkur 34 and then upgraded to the Tatara Masamune
Blade wise, usually the Gillette Super Plat. 7'0 in black cover paper or Feather.
Tried the other blades but these two do the best in terms of cutting, quality, and multiple uses
Tried several sample soaps...more like a behemoth of samples of all types....
But settled on Eufros, Daisho, Joserra [all three from Spain and purchased directly by the soap makers] and Martin de Candre [English Shaving Company / MdC direct purchase]....
Recently placed an order for Ethos, Fire Line, and CBL.....these are all American and never sampled these but I like soap makers that are in less marketing side and usually do pretty well in my experience with the Spain vendors...
That and I got lucky with the purchases. Tried some of the other American soap makers but really just focus on simplicity, ingredients, performance over scent, and greatly value "humbleness" of the makers. No to say others are not.
As far as soaps go...no more after today. I got enough for the rest of my life.....
Brush wise...ShaveMac Silvertip D01 three band. Had some other ones but this one fits the need so donated the Omega boar and other badger brush [name?]....

Daunting isn’t it?
Solid Choices! (You mean First Line...)
Don’t we all? Still, those are famous last words. Eventually you’ll find something else. We all do. I bought First Line after saying I wasn’t going to add any new artisans to me den.
