Pick one lather - which do you choose?

Chazt's "two razors" thread was fun. How about a similar one for cream?

"If you were stuck using just ONE shaving soap/cream and just ONE aftershave balm/lotion for the rest of your life, which soap/cream and aftershave balm/lotion combination would you choose?"

I'd have go with Proraso white label (Pelli Sensibili) in a tub, and Cella "Lozione Dopobarba" aftershave splash.

Soap stick Lea Original, After Shave Williams Aqua Velva fresh control.

Whelp... guess I'll grow a full beard

Part of me want to say Mike's Natural Soap and Marmara Kolonya No3, but if I can't get to enjoy picking a soap and aftershave daily I might just go for an Arko shave stick and the BodyShop Maca Root Energetic Face Protection cream.

Shaving cream: TOBS Eton College

Aftershave splash: Harris Arlington

DRH Arlington cream and splash.

Lots of good choices!
Perhaps THESE are the "golden years" of wet shaving!

Wickham soap and highland spring soap company aftershave balm.

Great game. Bummer I can’t play. There are too many “one” products for my tired brain to attempt making choices.

And-very fortunately- I don’t have to choose.

Changed my mind. Our AC crapped out. Now I’m going with DRH Eucalyptus cream and Snake Bite splash.

1.  This is cruel Bax.

2.  I'll go with Rufus— excellent choices.

The list of stuff I need to try keeps growing...

Tough choices - I've seen several listed that make me glad like Max I am not yet down to just one choice - 

But to pick of all the stuff I have tried, and that's alot of software, for Soap it would be Sir Irisch Moos, for
Aftershave it would Speick Lotion

Sebum Soaps for the lather and Ethos Aftershaves

Here are some Sebum lather pics I took from today’s shave:

La Toja stick, Fine American Blend.

edit:  Runner up Speick Stick and Speick AS.

If I was forever limited to one of each, I would opt for unscented products.  I would be fine with Mike's Natural Unscented and Witch Hazel.

I shave with a straight razor, and don’t do artisans any more, with a couple of exceptions.

ABC hard soap/cream + ABC almond balm. Cream and balm are available, hard soap is discontinued.
I Coloniali Mango Oil soap/Rhubarb cream + Rhubarb balm (discontinued)
Martin de Candre, agrumes + Myrsol Limon, Throw the water to the soap, and you will be happy. Myrsol Limon, perfect match.
Stirling - pick your scent and scent strength, great tallow + lanolin SR soaps. If you can’t lather MWF, here ya go.
Pre de Provence - thin, stupidly slick veg soap, but stable lather, great SR soap. Quad milled, lasts forever. Cheap as chips.
Santa Maria Novella, v3, always delivers a great shave, a staple for me. Not that pricey considering a tub is 250ml.
Acqua di Parma cream, v3, just stupendous, fantastic scent. Copies are not the same, no matter what anyone says.
Acca Kappa 1873 pre-reformulation, smells like Cella brick, performs like MWF. Lanolin. Discontinued.
Klar Klassik - smells like MWF, much easier to lather and much more expensive.
Klar lemon grass (?) - smells like MdC agrumes, performs as well and costs as much per gram.

If I had to choose one out of that lot, ABC hard soap. From available soaps, MdC.
