I was surprised when I realized that one of my most egressive razors - Mongoose B3 - is my go-to razor!
The rest of the go-to set up is:

Brush: Paladin Falstaff Mojave
Soap: Nuaia Rossa or any of my 9 B&M
AS: DCCS water reserve tonic or B&M tonics
AS Balm for cold weather: ABC balms

Maggard's MR5 handle with the V2 open comb head
Either an Israeli Red blade or a Gillette Silver Blue
I have three brushes I rotate, but I tend to grab my Purple Synthetic when I want ease of use.

I am still exploring blades, looking for comfort first than efficiency. And I am learning to lather well with all my brushes, which are a Whipped Dog High Mountain badger, an Omega boar Pro 10049, and a Maggard's purple synthetic
