What is your most prized possession in your shaving den, mine is my late father's Shulton Old Spice after shave lotion, which I believe is around 40 years old.

Not much monetary wise but I consider my father's Gillette Slim (knack?) my most valuable possession I would never sell.

Does it take a standard DE blade?

My Saponificio Varesino brush. I think it's the only thing I wouldn't sell. Well it's my most cherished possession...shaving related that is. I'm even contemplating buying another one.
