Thanked: 190I got that same brush from CVS and finally gave it to the Cats! At least they are having a good time with it. Compared to my best pure badger brusher, the CVS brush feels like the cheap brush that it is.
Shavette - It will still come in handy when you travel or become protective of your fixed straight razor. I have a few disposable straight razors and I still use them in the rotation. I love taking a break from stropping. No knock on these razors. Even my el cheapo Diane 21 blade gives a good shave and last for about 4 big shaves and 6 light shaves.
It does take an intial investment to get the tools you will be happy using. I am guessing about $200 - $250. There are cheaper ways to get started if you buy from the classifieds on SRP.

Thanks again for everyone's responses!
I'm really leaning toward the DE option for now. I think I may check out some antique shops in town or maybe the swap meet.
I am still open to suggestions though, so keep em' coming.
