Congrats! It sure is an addictive hobby.
By my calculations, I am into the black as it were in terms of saving already so all I am buying now is soap,cream and aftershave.That's a good saving on shaving!:D plus you get lovely warm lather on yer face,something you don't get with canned goop.Then there's the exfoliation when you shave with a straight so one less tube of stuff with little bits in it.
The only thing that bothers me is that after a great shave with a straight,I'm doing the same thing-feeling my face and waiting for enough stubble for a satisfying shave.It now takes 2-3 days to get a really good stubble up,and I used to have to shave every other day,now I like the four day long stubble,much more satisfying when its a little longer.IMHO.
Charlie762,
Glad to hear that all is going well in your straight razor journey.
BTW...Don't worry too much about the cost. Some pleasures in life, like a really good straight razor shave, are priceless anyway.
