There Can Be ONLY One!

Caveat Up Front: since I make/sell soap and have an extensive library of fragrances on hand I could honestly survive a shavepocolypse in style. I could be quiet happy using whatever soap(s) & fragrances I have on hand…but that wouldn’t qualify as “one”
One Soap: if I had to pick one (non-CBL soap) I think I would pick SV dolimiti, I love the scent and the way it lathers & feels.
One Post Shave: CBL tonic, Barba scented. I wouldn’t need a post shave every day if I’m using Dolimiti so this would give me an extra scent that I love AND I really enjoy the tonic.
One Razor: i could be happy with just about any vintage straight razor but if I had to have only one razor for life and blades were always available I guess I would want a feather (folding or kamisori style)
One Brush: I really enjoy mother’s thuya burl SV brush I have had for several years, that one or the newer TSC/SV brush would be my ONE.
One Blade. If it’s for my feather I would want a feather pro guard. If I was using it in a de razor (that I somehow had but didn’t put on my list) I really don’t have a preference…Gillette yellow or Personna, they seem to work.
One Cologne/Fragrance: my favorite fragrance is TdH a.k.a “orange dirt”, love it.
One Pipe/Cigar: Romon Buesto The Genesis Project…just awesome
One Drink: I like whiskey’s but I think I will go nuts if I had to pick one and drink it all the time so i’ll say “whiskey & Cherry Coke”, then it wouldn’t matter so much which whiskey as long as it’s not Canadian.
One Wildcard (for something you just want to add) Beef jerky!

Always a tough subject to answer! Let’s see…at this time…🤔


Caveat Up Front: Filling out this list yearly would probably get different results most of the time.
One Soap: My clown puke tub - hell if I remember what’s in it but it’s a bunch of good stuff and it’s definitely the best soap I have.
One Post Shave: My homemade witch hazel and aloe blend - two applications after every shave, never fails.
One Razor: Colonial “Armored” v1 Brass General AC SE - My grail razor for sure.
One Brush: Yaqi Rainbow w/ pony synth knot - Grail knot for sure, has never failed to help make superb lathers; the handle is quite ergonomic as well.
One Blade: Schick Prolines - Smoothest, most comfortable AC blade I’ve tried so far.
One Cologne/Fragrance: YSL Rive Gauche - Knockout, anytime year-round frag.
One Pipe/Cigar: My Kirsten “MX” Goldtone pipe - Even if I didn’t smoke it…it’ll last forever with even minimal care and it looks cool.
One Drink: Coffee - nuff said.
One Wildcard (for something you just want to add): My HK P3000SK (9mm) - inevitably in such a scenario, there’s going to be times where it comes down to who’s got the wits and better tools; other tools I could construct with some effort.

That rainbow pony tail knot IS prett awesome. Probably the best synthetic in my den right now.
 
Caveat Up Front: So ignoring the Single Ring, NEW variations, Feather SS, Feather Blades for now, and assuming I could find the cream with original scents...
One Soap: Coates cream. Sublime. If I can't get Coates scented, then Mystic Water Pompelmo I Fiori (or Maestrale)
One Post Shave: In a hurry I'd grab whatever Bootleggers I have left.
One Razor: Ever Ready 1914
One Brush: Any modern synth
One Blade: GEM PTFE SS
One Cologne/Fragrance: No idea. Not a priority for an apocalypse
One Pipe/Cigar: Yuk.
One Drink: Laphroaig
One Wildcard (for something you just want to add) TV Show : All seasons of Doctor Who, old and new and future.

It must be noted, that I have a shipping container in the event of Zombie, or any type of Apocalypse..... ok maybe two. One has shaving gear....and BACON, and the other is a 4x4 truck with roof mounted 50 cal and swords...... But if I must pick one. I do so in protest LOL "ONE" is a BAD word!

Caveat Up Front: See Above
One Soap: SV 70th
One Post Shave: SV 70th
One Razor: Koraat Ice Dragon Damascus ( doubles as Zombie Killer )
One Brush: Morris & Forndran Apolina
One Blade: N/A but if so a Feather Pro Guard
Fragrance: Creed Aventus
One Pipe/Cigar: Really??? Padron Toro Box Presses 1926 Maduro
One Drink: Dalmore Cigar Malt ( alcoholic ) Sun Tea ( non-alcoholic )
One Wildcard (for something you just want to add) Spicy Salmon Hand Roll
 
One Soap:
CBL Premium Hemp Base - Dragon’s Blood. Best soap I’ve used and my favorite scent!

One Post Shave:
Central Texas Soaps - The Saw. Love this so much when I got it last year, I immediately went back and bought 5-6 more bottles.

One Razor:
Feather AS-D2. My instinct said to grab the Fatboy, since it’s adjustable, and is a few razors in one. But the Feather is perfect as is, and it’s stainless and has less parts, so less can go wrong with it.

One Brush:
A synthetic for sure. I’d probably grab one of my Oz Shaving Co. brushes.

One Blade:
Feather. Gives me over 100 shaves per blade, so I don’t need to worry about carrying a bunch of blades. A few will last a long time.

One Cologne/Fragrance:
I’d probably grab PdP No. 63.

One Pipe/Cigar:
I’m pretty simple here. I’d just grab a MM corncob pipe and a pouch of Carter Hall.

One Drink: Hendrick’s Gin & Tonic water, so I can make Gin & Tonics.
 
Hate to be so vanilla but I would go with what I got on hand

One Soap: Same Caveat as CBL so currently going with TABAC as its the best of what I got on hand
One Post Shave: Zombie Repellent (Still in Alpha - no warranty)
One Razor: Fatip OC La Storto (Slant)
One Brush: Omega S
One Blade: Astra Superior Platinum
One Cologne/Fragrance: Paco Rabanne
One Pipe/Cigar: Any good pipe loaded with a 50/50 Mix of Half & Half and Captain Black Dark Black Cavendish
One Drink: Canadian Hunter Whiskey Large bottle, tastes good and cheap you guys must absolutely see this review link
Wild Card: Military Grade Flamethrower (relatively silent so as not to attract a horde)
 
Caveat Up Front: No caveats
One Soap: Saponificio Varesino Dolomiti
One Post Shave: Epsilon Blue Mediterranean after shave
One Razor: Feather AS-D2
One Brush: Rudy Vey Eagle
One Blade: Personna lab blue
One Cologne/Fragrance: Aqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Fico di Amalfi
One Pipe/Cigar: Macanudo Gold Label
One Drink: Fortaleza Tequila Blanco
One Wildcard: Fender Custom Shop '51 Nocaster
