Hey beginners! You can save a whole lotta money!

Actually, I think TexasRanger may be saying I'm being sarcastic, and with the hardware displayed in the DP, I'm inclined to agree...with WHATEVER he says..

I was just being funny, I LOVE straight razor shaving, and I haven't actually spent that much money. As far as bang for the buck goes, SR shaving beats everything hands down, it's a complete hobby. I don't think anyone would say shaving with a Bic is a hobby, even if the thing's got FIFTY blades.

I also know it's a poor comparison, but it's a comparison of what I USED to use (though I did also have a 'supermarket' brush, so what was originally alluded was a lie) and what I use now. Got us talking, didn't it?

Ah, I can't wait for the next 5 months ;) Luckily I picked this up pretty much right before my birthday, time for a shaving fest!

Your just a minimalist! Ya thats what I think you said some time ago, wasn't it? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Don't forget to add in your health insurance which doubled when they find out you are shaving with a SR.

No, yeah, no; you're right. I did. 'A minimalistic sort of fellow' I think I said. And now look what you lot have turned me in to. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

This continually cracks me up - plus we get to see a lot of sweet shave dens!!

Im sure many here would still consider you a minimalist. If thats any consulation.:o

Yeah, I know my collection above is very modest in comparison to the results of the sickness that some suffer from :-)
