Thread: WOW

Yeah it only saves money if you limit yourself to reasonable items I'm five years and 30 straights in but I still have spent less than a 12 months cartridges budget. Granted, I don't have 9/8 wedges or Filarmonicas.

Flatire67,

I shave when I get back from work, and find it to be an Oasis of Peace

All the crap and rubbish from the day just disappears during the shave, leaving me a in a very fine frame of mind : Bliss

Have fun !

Best regards

Yep! Between the boss, the moneybags, and the rest, shaving is about the only peace I get around here. Save money? Perhaps; but there is a relationship between ROI and RAD and I did not begin to see the former until the latter receded and I suspect that is only a brief trend. All those brushes, creams and different grinds and did I mention the HarrtSteel with it's interchangeable scales that recently caught my eye? Like you; what started out as a quest for a cheap and consistent alternative for 'the chore' ended up getting me stranded in a new hobby and to be honest, I ain't lookin to get rescued. Welcome aboard

This thread from Carl will convince anyone of the money to be saved by switching to straight razors.

My wife fell for it, I told her after the initial investment, I wouldn't need to buy any more shave gear....key word here is NEED, want...that's a whole other story.

Need and want. I occasionally do online surveys. In some of them a question comes up asking you to show how much to not at all you need the item or want the item. When I'm in the 'bad' mood I mark the strongly no to need and strongly must have to want. Gotta have a little fun now and then.
