Comment on Some reflections on the cost of shaving soap.
vext01@lemmy.sdf.org 3 weeks agoI don’t call wet shaving with a DE a hobby, but I’m pretty sure it’s saving me money compared to buying mach 3 blades and cans of shaving foam.
But I do it your grandpa’s way though. I shave my head 2 or 3 times a week. I have one DE shaver. I use the same soap, bowl and brush every time. A blade lasts me 2 or 3 shaves.
I get good results and it feels good. I only spend on shaving supplies maybe twice a year because I bulk buy blades and soap.

Yep, this old school way definitely saves money compared to the modern cartridge razors and their exorbitant prices. 1 razor, 1 soap, 1 brush plus a reliable aftershave option and a few blades. You’re set.
I personally got into the hobby side of it way too fast, but still - it’s fun and that’s what matters to me.
