I'll bet that 50 bucks is all it would take to get a good shaver, perhaps even less.

My best Filly cost me half of the EPBD, but I still wanted the EPBD asap

My fear is that it's really gonna start to cost me a pretty penny when I start to look at the fine customs out there..
That $1450 Livi for instance..
RAD is fun

One of my best shavers is a 5/8 Wade and Butcher full hollow. It cost about $15 bucks from e bay,Glen honed it for another $15 and it shaves beautifully. Each to their own but I'm happier getting a great shave from a $30 razor than a $600 razor

I can surely see the beauty in that.
I bought a $40 Sheffield razor, honed it myself, and it does the job quite handsomly.
That does not stop me, however, from wanting a Zowada, a Williams or a Livi

B, although I do agree they are beautiful, because of the craftsmanship, just looking at your list of shavers in your sig line, you sir will be hard pressed to find anything that will feel better on your face than what you already have...
Now granted it might look better in your hand while doing it

Yes, Gssixgun, it is not the hardware anymore, I fully believe that too.
It's the skills that need honing at this point!
I am just getting so into this straight shaving thing, and enjoy thoroughly the time spent with all the things about it.
SRP, honing, RAD, the shave and the pre/post procedures.
A nice hobby indeed.

I'm not the only one then that enjoys all aspects of shaving with a "$30 razor" even more so than some of the pricier "eye candy" razors I own.

To those who are wondering, there are scores of razors that shave as good or even better than the most coveted razor du jour, the [INSERT BRAND HERE]. Scores. Those that know this are not likely to name such faves for this very reason, watching this recent Filarmonica craze.

>>insert brand here<< Chris, let's throw in a "Master" here. I bought one a while ago for the tutti-frutti scales and when these things shoot off the charts, I'll be able to sell the naked blade for a small fortune, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk, and put the kitsch scales on a Dobl Temple.

Pardon me for a minute... ...sometimes these inspirations give me a bit of a headache and I just have to look off monitor for a moment. Much better, thanks.
