Thread: I´ve completely failed

Well I started out with the notion that the fusion razor gear was simply too expensive... I´ve bickered about that for quite some times. And one night a
I scooted around on the net and found an article about straight razors.... in the lines of: A razor for life, with no more expenses on razor gear. (shave cream excluded off course).

Nice, I thought a way to cut away some expenses...I then found this place and thought: Yeah why not?

Well I ashamed to say I didn`t save a dime....just the opposite...i didn't start out that long ago, and by now i´ve allready used more money on shaving gear in a couple of months than i´ve would´ve spend in a couple of years....who would have thought shaving could be so much fun???

i´ve read some books and I now enjoy both shaving with straight and DE-razors (although by now I can only achieve near BBS with the DE). I have now tossed the gillete fusion completely to curb as I dont need it for touch-ups and finishing anymore.

I even went as far as aquiring some razors from a fleamarket, to see if I can get them going sometimes down the road... I´m well aware that I wont put those to my face in any near future, not only because I need to learn to shave properly first but I cant hone yet, and probably wont start buy a honong stone just yet.... but its really fun and kinda meditative to polish up a blade and make new scales.... for now i have done that with only one (finished today)... but i plan to start on another in the next couple of day

Nowhere near perfect, but I´m kinda happy with the result
