Don't overlook boar brushes. A decent boar brush can be had for $30. Many here on this board even prefer them over higher end badger brushes. I can PM you a link to a great source for them if you want. Originally Posted by Sly712

And in case you haven't noticed, the people here don't make it easy to save any money.

Okay, it has been a week and my observations:
- It is worth getting out of bed 20 minutes earlier just to shave
- Found an amazing amount of people when I mention I have taken straight say "Cool, but are you mad??" (BTW, the answer is probably yes...barking mad actually
) - One of the guys I work with actually uses a DE and may convert
- DON'T START THINKING ABOUT WHAT ELSE YOU HAVE TO DO!!
- Items off eBay never come quick enough
- eBay is addictive
- What is BBS??? Bloodless Brilliant Shave???
- My face feels smoother for longer
- Under and chin and directly under the nose are a PITA

I'd be careful with shaving from razor off ebay until you get them checked out by a pro or they're marked as 'shave ready' by a reputable seller.
BBS = baby butt smooth

Man, I tell you what, it looks like straight razor shaving is about as wallet draining as bicyling.
