so lets add this all up the initial equation was,
use non disposable = save money
21 straight razors = who's going to admit that
6 strops = why?
6 hones = to much
enough soap and shave cream to wash a small country = a big girls blouse

outcome = didn't save jack shit.

a well I had fun anyway.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Nearly spat my coffee out there mate.

dont feel bad
just over 13 months
shave mostly every day with straight except for a few weeks I was unable due to eye surgerys, so maybe around 300-330 straight shaves
thought I would save money too
25 or so straight razors
1 Tony Miller strop
4 hones and a flattening hone
soaps and creams -yeah way too many

outcome =the same didn't save shit either

Having fun anyhow, I know I don't post too often and the server crash lost quite a few of mine but thanks to all you gents for the info on here and making it possible

Done, as requested.

Lower end of the 750-1000 range.. 2 years of daily shaves and another half a year of 3-4 shaves a week.

Right about in the same range as Xman.

I started around the end of December, beginning of January so under 50 for me.

Just now starting out after lurking and learning for a few months.
Maybe a dozen so far.

'bout a dozen so far!

My first try was in Dec 07 and I've been shaving exclusively with a str8 for the past two weeks...I'll give myself credit for a dozen too! Absolutely love more every day

If I did my calculations right I figure about 1700. Wow, 1700, seems like its time to get a new set of razors. I must have worn out my old ones by now.
