Thread: Do you have a shaving budget?

I generally have been buying my shaving gear as I please. Some months I spend more, others I spend less. I recently, however, gave some thought to giving myself a budget...a certain amount every month or year for shaving related purchases.

Anyone out there have a shaving budget?

My reality sensor is my biggest enabler, my wife. She monitor my spending and she tells me when it is good enough. I couldn't put myself on a budget, lol.....

I don't really have a budget either. I pick up one or two off the bay clean polish hone and shave with them. Then i put them back on the bay and repeat the proccess. It's kind of a self supporting hobby. Although I may spend a little more than i make I toss it up to having fun. When i think i'm spending too much i remember when i smoked (3-4packs marlbow red) a day and in the earlier yrs. i drank a little (pint or more a day) and think i'm not spending that much.

No ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Not really, shaving is one of my cheap hobbies so I don't really monitor it. Plus I,m retired, saved for 45 years I spend what I want when I want, try to gave it all spent by the time I,m dead. Tc

Thats the same as what I do, funny when the GF looks at my ebay page and see's how much I have sold and then scratches her head when she see's how little is left on paypal lol. always seems to be something in the post.

SELL??? That crazy talk mister!

When I first started SR shaving, I didn't really have a budget. I wanted to try many things. As time went by, my purchases decreased, since I realized that my soaps, creams and oils may outlive me. Having a lot of shave stuff, and bouncing from using one then another, really stretches the life of each soap and cream. I haven't purchased a new soap or cream in over a year now. However, now and then, I like to check out the aftershave lotions.

Now, a few years later, my spending has pretty much halted. I've gotten to the point of making my own aftershave splash, and I realize that I'm good... for now.

I don't actually budget a dollar amount but I typically have a certain amount of discretionary money I use for hobbies. Like you the amount varies month to month.
