Well, it has been over a year since I found this site, and I have been asking myself some big questions.
How did I arrive here? What was the reason? How come I have so many razors, but only one face? Is the Earth really flat like the Monks said? And then i remembered...A cheap shave. To some degree, Deegee beat me to the post a while back, but here is my "cut-throat" version.
All prices include postage. The razor owes me $6, as found, no rust removed, just cleaned and honed, soap $4, brush $6, strop $40, Paua shell free, plus I got a feed out of it.
I think it is entirely possible to get 1000 shaves out of this razor over it's lifetime, 40 shaves out of the Arko stick, the brush, who knows, but it has lost about 3 hairs in 50 shaves, and the strop? well i haven't carved it up yet, so possibly endless. No good at math, but that is some cheap shaves. Another average photo from me, but a great shave.Into this house we're born, into this world we're thrown ~ Jim Morrison
