Hello people,
when I started SR I told myself ''great! I'm gone save some $$ on catridge, it's gone a be a great way to save a bit''. But after a couple of years it turn out to be couple of 1000$$$++ more of spending on nice razors, trying soaps & creams, brushes, AS and all... at the end I LOVE IT!!!!
cheers

+1, I was in the checkout line in the supermarket the other day. I was looking at the rack with the cartridges for razors @ 12 for $28.00. I'll take my straights any day and the more the merrier.
Well, I still have hopes for saving a few pennies in the long run.
I just need to stop buying more razors and live to be like really old... ;)
Bjornar - I've seen your taste in razors, so by really old, you must mean well over 3,000,000,000,000 years, right? :rofl2:Quote:

Eventually consider becoming a vampire. :)
Just for the fun of it I did a calculation based on my old shaving routine where I used two packs of cartridges each month.
I have razors, strops, brushes, soaps and aftershaves worth about $ 2750, two packs of cartridges of the brand I used is $ 35.
2750 divided on 35 gives 78,57 packs of cartridges, divided on 12 months tells me I have shaving gear worth 6,54 years use of cartridges (not counted the canned goo)
Given that I have soaps etc. to last at least 5 years and (in theory) I don't need any more straights I'm actually going to start saving money before the kids move out.
Edit: Forgot to include the hones, so I guess I can add about a year of cartridge supplies :)
And just think, that 100 year old Wade & Butcher that you will one day pass on/down will have passed through a few different chins.
Now how much does a 100 years worth of Mach 3's cost?
