💈 🪒 💈 🪒 SOTD - “Cheapie” Theme Week - March 10th to 16th, 2025 💈 🪒 💈 🪒

[SharpieB]

Hello again, B&Bers!

This week’s SOTD Theme is “Cheapie Shaving Setups”.

Let’s try to be frugal this week and use some of our least expensive shaving gear!

This week, put away the $300 Silvertip badger brushes, Wolfman razors, KAI and Med Prep blades, Creed and Tom Ford colognes and $50 tubs of soap! Bring out your dollar store razors and blades, Walmart fragrance clones, that puck of Williams soap you bought a few years ago for $1.99, etc.

We want to see your inexpensive soaps, razors, aftershaves, fragrances, blades and any other shaving accessories that didn’t cost an arm and a leg. Show us and tell us all about what you use that is inexpensive. If you bought a rare vintage razor at a thrift shop for dirt cheap, that counts too!

Nothing cheapie themed? You must be rich! But please still post a pic of your usual shaving setups. Or post pics of your usual SOTD or just tell us all about it. Let’s see lots of cheapie themed posts this week!

As always, the weekly themes are just a suggestion. We encourage you to post or shoot photos of your Shave Gear of the Day regardless of the theme as sticking with the theme is NOT mandatory but encouraged.

Let’s see your Cheapie shaving gear!

That's easy for me. My current setup is my only setup and the cheapest possible one (besides the razor). However, the Henson is from Dr. Squatch which is cheaper than the price on the website. After Shave is missing from the picture, but it is cheap too.

Monday Afternoon 10/03/25

• Razor : Yaqi Ghost TI 90 DC. (Duel Comb) "First Use"
• Blade : Feather Hi-Stainless.(1)
• Brush : Yaqi Ocean 28mm synthetic.
• Soap : Rustic Art Lavender Charcoal. (Hard Puck)
• Aftershave : Pinaud Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum.
• Razor weight : 58 grams.

Hi all,
I had a lovely shave this afternoon with the Yaqi Ghost TI 90 DC.
This is the first Titanium razor have ever owned I picked it up second hand recently.
The first thing that drew me to it was the duel comb design of the head which is unlike
any other razor I have or have owned.
Today I used the safety bar side only and I have to say the shave was very smooth and efficient.
I will use the open comb side for my next shave just to compare.
In my opinion easily as smooth as the TGS Syntesi in my last SOTD maybe even a bit smoother hard to tell.
The thing that stuck me was on the first stroke of the WTG pass it was a no brainer no angle
adjustment at all witch can be common when using an unknown razor for the first time.
Being so light weight (58 grams) I wondered if inexperienced wet shavers could mistakenly apply
pressure if they had only used stainless or solid brass razors witch may result in nicking or cutting themselves.
The in hand feel weight wise felt similar to vintage Gillette's. (very pleasing) :happy:

The soap was good to but I realized I should of brush loaded it not bowl lathered.
Lovely relaxing fragrance during the shave.

Cheers.

Safety Bar.
