Actually, I wouldn't be so sure of that. You can get a sight unseen deal from whipped dog for 54 bucks shipped. It includes a shave ready straight razor, a poor mans strop kit and pasted balsa. it's all you really need to shave with a SR. You would probably need to get honed once a year IF that with proper maint (Strop before and after each shave, use the pasted balsa when it starts to "tug" etc) and a honing from Larry at WD is 13 bucks,
A GOOD shavette will be 45 - 50 bucks plus blades (figure .50 a blade) and a blade lasts 3 - 5 shaves (at least that is what I get YMMV) so figure 6 blades a month at .5 a blade is 3 dollars a month is 36 dollars a year... Compared to 13 - 20 bucks for honing once a year (IF that)
Juss saying ..
