Thanked: 0Newby start-up costs
My wife won't give me a hard time since I used my birthday as an excuse! This was my first experience with the straight shave. My dad used a safety razor, but can't find it. So I bought a W.R. Case & Sons "Real Red Point" on Ebay from an SRP guy $61. I got a "Dovo's Best Russian Leather Strop" for $76. I picked up a "KEEN KUTTER Razor Hone No 15 Extra Quality" Circa 1915 (in original box) $26. Probably another $20 in soap and a cheap brush. I'm in about $183 and shaving!
I'm sure this is just a start, and the end to my honesty about expenditures!

Thanked: 335If memory serves, rather an iffy assumption, $0 this month; however, the mental money expenditures have been substantial, and they have this unnerving habit of changing from virtual to real at the click of a mouse.

I used about a quarter of a cent on water and heating it, and probably a few cents worth of shaving soap and cream, but they were samples
so I estimate $0.0027 (adjusted for inflation since the beginning of the month)Find me on SRP's official chat in ##srp on Freenode. Link is at top of SRP's homepage

Thanked: 74I spent about $45. I bought a Semogue Owners' Club Boar brush and a tub of Cella. I hope I'll like them.

I spent $80 on a Naniwa 12k, and it was worth every penny. Also spent $40 on two Ebay junk razors that I hope to successfully cannibalize and turn into one excellent razor (a crap razor with nice C-Mon scales + a nice C-Mon razor with crap scales = 1 nice C-Mon razor).
Now that I think of it...a pretty light month!

Well...let's see in November itself, 0 dollars.
In October...I don't even want to know the exact value. Let's just say it's the reason there hasn't been spending going on in November. At least I also sold off a ton of my stuff in order to finance the new stuff

I spent about $360 in November. I purchased a new razor (H. Diamond 8000), a coticule and a new Semogue 1520.
I plan on purchasing one J-Nat in December and that is it for me for a while.
