Could you have a fully [insert your country] shave?

[Uncle Bertie]

My turn, all vintage:

Trumpers Berkley badger brush
Yardley Black Label soap
Gillette Platinum blades
English 1940s Tech
Avon Spicy aftershave

And it would be a great shave too.

 

[Nishy]

Gillette Tech
Simpson M6
Prof blighty/TOBS/Trumpers/Truefitt/DR Harris/P&B/MWF/Wickhams
Posts have balm/tonic from the above minus Wickhams and MWF

 

[p.b]

I can do an all British, or all German shave.

I could also do an all America shave if Varlet would make me a brush (having been on the waiting list for 15 months.)

 

[N_Architect]

I could do an all-Jap shave.

Shave scuttle.
Shaving brush (pure badger) from Tokyu hands (Osaka) store.
Shaving powder soap.
Any Jap razor (Feather SS or a kamisori),
Shiseido after shave tonic lotion, or
Man Dom after shave.

For asb, any SK II or other brand moisturiser would do.

 

[sɐǝɹpu∀]

German would be easy. Several Merkur razors, Mühle brushes, Bolzano blades (I might even have a Merkur blade somewhere), the full Speick range.
I could just about do a British shave. No British SE or DE blades, but I have two British straights, but - alas - no British brush. So I would have to ask SWMBO where the Boots brushless shaving cream is I 'generously' gave her. But I have no intention to do so.

 

[celestino]

Nope! I, along with my gear, am too multi-national.

 

[Wayne]

I may be able to. Not sure on the blade but
MWF
Cadman brush
Gillette Tech
Gillette Thin blade ( not sure about this)
Bulldog Balm.

 

[Electrif]

I'll have a go. I haven't any vintage British DE blades. So this is the best all British I can come up with:
Cadman Brush
OSP Soap
TSR Lather Bowl
Ever Ready (British) 1912
Ever Ready Corrux blade
OSP Bay Rum

 

[Bizzyberry]

Can't do it tomorrow as some of the items are Christmas presents and are now under lock and key so the family can wrap them for me, yes I have to buy my own presents, but at least I will get what I want.

Kent BLK4 Brush
ToBs Pre Shave oil
P&B Baskerville, Kent Soap, or ToBs Cream
Gillette Tech Thin Handle (1940's)
Blue Double Life carbon steel blades (Vintage, not been brave enough to try yet, came with a nice Gillette Tech Ball End I got from eBay)
Bulldog Balm (or my Dad's Vintage Old Spice, but I would need to drive an 800 mile round trip to borrow that!)

Apart from blades, I could also do an Italian Proraso/Fatip based shave tomorrow but Bolzano blades don't count as Italian.

Nearly but not quite all British, largely thanks to vintage razors & blades:

Gillette Rocket HD or Tech
Vintage Gillette Blue or Blue Extra
New Forest brush
Wickham 1912 Russian Leather

I'm let down in the aftershave department. The vintage Old Spice is made in USA, Old Spice Original (UK Procter & Gamble) is made in the EU (ie not UK), as is OS Whitewater, and M&S Harvard is made in China.

Fell at the last hurdle.

Regards,
Chris

Ok so I got me some turkish lemon cologne, a tube of arko moist cream, a turkish unbranded horse hair brush, a steel turkish lather cup and some derby blades, all I need is someone to lend me a rocnel or a barboras razor and I could go fully into a heritage shave

I always assumed that Old Spice was made in Britain in past as the bottle my Father still has, has the word London on the back. So it was just that New York - London - Paris thing, or in the case of Old Spice it was a New Jersey - London - Paris thing!
