• Prep: Hot shower
• Brush: Omega 10049
• Razor: Muhle Companion
• Blade: Wilkinson Sword
• Lather: Col Conk - Amber
• Post Shave: Zingari Man Sego Aftershave Balm Unscented

I'm pretty sure that if I bought Col Conk new, it would qualify as the cheapest soap in my den. However, this isn't new Col Conk. This stuff came from a four pack I picked up around 20 years ago. So I probably paid half what they're charging now.

For the rest of my kit, the Omega brush is a bargain, and the Wilkinson Sword is apparently one penny cheaper than my preferred Astra Green. I only have the one razor, so it's the cheapest by default. As for how great it felt, well, I don’t love the scent of the Col Conk, which is part of the reason I’ve had it for 20 years. The lather was also kinda dry. The brush is totally fine, but obviously not as luxurious as my Chisel and Hound, and I didn’t actually notice a difference with the blade (dammit, that’s nearly a dollar a year in potential savings lost!).
