Thread: Cost Question

A shave ready razor can be had from the classifieds for less than $50. No-one on here will steer you wrong especially if you ask them any questions you have first.
I have a Filly strop from http://ruprazor.com which was $20 and seems to do the job just fine.
The first shaving cream I ever used was Proraso (Italian i think) which I got on ebay cheaply (massive tube, still got some from the DE days) for probably $15 (I use £) but my current fave is a tub of Truefitt and Hill lime cream which is a bit more expensive.
You can generate a suitable lather with any brush really, just that the amount of effort varies. My favourite brush at the moment is a small Vulfix pure badger travel brush which cost around $25 (use it more often than my luxurious massive AOS silvertip).
That should cover basics for $110 or less.
The only trouble is that you probably won't be able to stop yourself there and will have tons of stuff before you know it.
