This month? Tabac SS $15
Cacharel SS $49
Pat. 1912 Eveready SE $7
Pat 1914 Eveready SE $6
C&E Nomad SS $9
DE $10

total $96

ummm...

well, not the last month. but the last few months? ummm... $2000 or so.

Just ordered a a 6/8 Kamisori today. Been wanting to try one of those ever since I first found rasurpur.de.

Figure I'll have paid for them all with savings from not having to buy those Gillette Fusion razors. At $2.85 per cartridge, changing it once every seven days, it'll only be 702 weeks before I start to break even. Ummm... that's, uh, thirteen and a half years. Let's just say that I'll break even before I turn 60.

I know, I *am* a wise and savvy financial genius.

Nary a penny spent on shaving this month! I've been inundated with soap samples though, with more on its way...

a couple months ago I would have been affraid to answer, but the last two months has seen no $$ out pouring and untill I whittle down my excess I'm not looking for more stuff...

I'll hold out for the big payday. I can feel it comingl

Okay I couldn't hold out. I'm guilty. Just picked up 3 beauties at stunningly low prices too good to resist. Pictures are forthcoming.

i spent about $300 in the last 7 days just when i paid off my credit card too. might have to start selling some razors

$10 - and that is the first I have spent in a while, since usually I use an electric. I never get a satisfactory shave from it though, and am starting my transition to a straight razor. I bought my last disposable, and one package of refills.

I figure I can start with a nice brush, soap and bowl combo, then work into a razor as I get used to shaving with a razor again. Rather than buy used, I am thinking I'll buy a nice new razor and send it to one of the gents here to get it ready for me.

I believe in the 'buy once, cry once' creed and would prefer to save up for a quality item than buying cheaper stuff and not being happy with it.

Thank you all for this tremendous resource.
