I can use my new antique razors instead and not have to spend near as much as for what my replacement blades cost. $500?? You really could have done a lot cheaper.

Only $50.00 bucks!!!! I wish I could have that price here in Mexico for all those things,,, I spent 50.00 only for my Merkur Classic DE

Hah! When I first started making beer, I knew I could make two cases for a little over $10. OTOH, the reason I did it was because I like good beer. My beer is to Budweiser what a barber's shave is to a bic razor shave. Hense, the extra money I've spent on razors and stuff.

I had an equivalent analogy on deck about my metalic cartridge reloading, but how many analogies does one post need?

All posts should contain three analogies.

By the way, how many ProFusion cartridges can I trade a $650 custom razor for? I'm just trying to save money.

Now there is a hobby I could get used to!!!

Speaking of "sky" being the limit, I used to / and still fly private airplanes.
Every hour up in the sky, is one forgone Chosera 10k stone.

I live in Guadalajara Ryan

i saved money with straight razor shaving for decades... until i met this group of miscreants who enabled my RAD, HAD, BAD, SCAD but even they faded away, after a couple of years. now I'm back to saving money.

YMMV ... just have fun on the ride.

I was there yesterday!! got home today very tired,, too many people right now,, I recommend you to go to the Nayarit coasts,, not far from Puerto Vallarta, its very nice and if you like the idea of being with your beloved in an isolated beach, some beers, delicious sea food and very few people, those places are perfect,,, enjoy it!!!!

Thanks for the advice, ledemon. My wife and I love PV, she surprised me for my birthday next week with a trip. I'd really like to make it north to Riviera Nayarit and/or Bucerias this trip as we've never been there. And perhaps Mismaloya to the south as well.

Sorry to hijack your thread, mate.......
