What is the best use of my money?
Ok, so I just got about $150 of birthday money that I can invest in my new hobby. My question is how can I get the most mileage out of it? I am currently shaving with a C-mon that Lynn honed for me. I have two other razors that I can send off for honing. I have a vintage shell horse hide Illinois strop that I have re-conditioned through the advice on this forum. I have a cheap boars hair brush and a shaving mug. I have a barbers hone, and I have been using Bigelow shaving cream and glycerin for a lather. I also invested in the "World of Straight Shaving DVD."
I definitely want to upgrade to a badger brush. So I'll spend $10 or $20. I don't know if I should even be thinking about learning to hone and this point or not. I would like to at some point learn to restore razors as well, but right now I just want to learn how to get the best shave possible. BTW I am very frugal, so money saving tips would be great. Thanks!
