There are some nice domestic woods. Some of those are rather exotic looking.

Yeah it is a shame sometimes we can't regulate ourselves in a way that it doesn't come to this.

I actually have a spread sheet keeping track of what I bought and for how much since I got into this 18 months ago. It was originally a "wish list" which quickly turned into a "have list"... And it doesn't even include soaps and aftershaves. I dare not speak out loud the total amount; I'm too scared the lady of the house could here it.

Cheers.

I could basically copy-paste that, only mine does include absolutely everything. Seems I spent most on hones and my workshop, earnt more with the razors I sold than that I spent on them, and still have €1155 to go before break-even

No one needs to spend more than $20 on a shaving brush either, I bet you could get a cheap knot, glue it to a PVC pipe and it'll still make lather. But some people make and others buy brushes with the same knot glued to a handle made of super expensive and exotic materials

You could make it cheaper by skipping the pipe and glue, just hold the knot

About $2500.

When I saw this thread I was going to dare you to post on it, I am actually surprised at how.small the figure is, everytime I spoke.to you recently it seemed that.you were getting something.new.
