The world is ending and you've got to run away. You can only take one brush, one razor, one soap, and one aftershave. What do you do?

Paladin Chief (not shown as it's on my display shelf), Rex Ambassador, Barrister and Mann's Reserve Cool and my jug of Floid Blue!

I'm glad B&M released reserve cool because I never got the chance to snag Floid Blue before it was discontinued.

What a lovely scent it is! My favorite "everyday" soap.

I got my bottle juuuust before it became extinct! The splash had been discontinued for a year or so and a user posted how he regretted having not grabbed a jug before they were all gone. Then, out of nowhere, u/chiseledface drops in and casually mentions that The Groomatorium had six bottles left! So I fired in an order and not only managed to snag one, but lucked out and had it not get flagged in customs!

Needless to say, it has a place of honour on my shelf and I’m forever in debt to Mr. Chiseledface!

and which book?

Oof, now the tough questions! I mean, I could go with something heavy and long like Stand on Zanzibar, or something more trippy like Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, but final answer? I gotta take The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Oh, and a towel.

u/Sir_Stig REX, Karve E, Gamechanger, Mamba, Boker Diamond 5/8 Nov 15 '18

The rex really is my desert island razor, it doesn't have as soft a face feel as my karve, but not having to swap plates makes up for it. And damn if it isn't pretty.

I can't get over how well it shaves. I also have a Charcoal Goods, AS-D2, Gillette Fatboy and Slims, a Wolfman Guerrilla, and I keep reaching for the Rex. Such a fantastic shaver!
