Merkur 38c Barberpole, Feather blades, Razorock artisan soap, and a silvertip badger brush, and Proraso aftershave; maybe a Dirty Bird Scuttle. It's all I need
Dragging this one up from the dead...Revisited Feather blades today in my Merkur Heavy Classic, much better experience than when I tried them previously with the Long Classic. These are sharp as hell, and with the Heavy I find I have much better control and didn't end up with as much irritation as before. The Heavy allows me to shave with a much lighter touch and overall better positioning, and with that working in my favor I can really see using Feather blades in the future. I won't drop Derby as I still think they are a fantastic blade for my needs, but I can't help but be impressed with the Feather experience.
Check out classicshaving.com, they have just about everything you could ever want for your grooming needs. They have some decent kits for the newcomer. Just bought a new mug and a few different cake soaps myself today. The good thing, like kuzi said a few posts back, is that it's only costly once...unless you take the collector approach.
You want an insanely lathering cream, you gotta try Razorock artisan soaps - it's an italian soft soap, but it lasts forever and lathers like nobodies business, even with hard water. I swear by the stuff; love me the Muget de Bologna and Napoleon's Violet
I really need to stop reading about shaving, i hate disposables, but i dont want to invest non-existent money into something else (shot glasses, jeep, cigars, etc...already consume it all)
i buy my disposables in bulk and get them for $0.50-0.60 each and i can make one last three, maybe four weeks. i think it is the initial investment that scares me.

How you think I feel? I shave my head lol only rock the goatee. I use a mach3 everytime brand new. when i done its gone. 24 bucks a week to shave...

no way in hell i could afford or want to pay for that.
You guys are bad (or good?) influences. Figured I would give this a shot and just snagged an old Gillette off of ebay. Hopefully it goes okay because it really makes me mad each time I have to buy a pack of the cartridges for the mach3.
From the reading I've done you are correct, this is the mid-line of the TTOs. The date code is k2 made in '65. I may grab a Merkur or Jagger if I stick with it, but this should be a good inexpensive starting point.
