How Much Have You Invested in Our Wet Shaving Hobby?

[John 7]

Hi John, I see you're about to hit your one year B&B anniversary!

While I came over to DE from electric for cartridge shavers the savings can really come starting the second year if you just purchase needed blades and soap and don't fall into any rabbit holes. During the first year you have to cover investments in your equipment. After that all you need is a 100 pack of blades every year or two and perhaps 3-4 replacement soaps.

Sounds like you are happy with your equipment. What did you settle on for razors and brushes? Do you have a favorite blade and soap?

Hi my favorite razors are the vintage single ring razor from gillette. I also enjoy a nickel tipped super speed and a slim adjustable razor. My father had both the super speed and the slim when I was growing up and showed me how to shave with his super speed. I use altra green blades and cella soap along with a Simpson Trafalgar synthetic brush.

I know my purchases have slowed dramatically in the last several years, but the price of the purchases has gone up.

I respectfully decline to answer on the fact my statement might be seen by SWMBO.
