This can be a cheap hobby. You can save money. Or not. Consider the $ you have tied up in soaps, brushes, AS, razors, blades, and such. Are you in the Bargain Basement, or hangin' in the VIP lounge?
I'm definitely in the deep end of the pool.

That's worth considering. It's been a few years since I've had to buy anything and don't foresee me needing much in the next few years.but will say that for the most part I am set to last for the next couple years without having to spend anything else.
The 200 blades cost me CAD$43.16 total. Thats $0.216 per blade. At 20 shaves this blade has cost me $0.010. A full 5 weeks shaves for a penny. People say this type of shaving doesnt save money. Think again.
I dont remember offhand what the total cost of my Grande was, but it was close enough to $50 to call it that. Under CAD$100 for the best DE razor made in my opinion and 200 of one of the best blades made, and you're good for ten years.
My current shaving kit cost me close to CAD400. I use my shaving kit every other day most of the time but in spring and summer months I may use it every day.$ invested in shaving kit
Way over CAD3000. Stainless razors aren't cheap. Neither some of the badger brushes.How much $ do you have tied up in shaving gear?
Certainly is a cheap hobby, for me at least.This can be a cheap hobby...
One can certainly choose from frugal to extravagant. And still get much better shaves than using modern can and plastic gear....You can save money. Or not...
I consider myself somewhere in between, definitely not playing with the big boys in the VIP lounge. Just have other priorities at the moment and difficult to catch up....Consider the $ you have tied up in soaps, brushes, AS, razors, blades, and such.

The Toggles got me wet, for sure. The modern razors soaked me.Toggles will do that!
