Well, I got into Wet Shaving, not with the intention of saving (well, kindda, but not really) but rather to have a pleasant outcome when shaving.
I was stretching cartridges for way too long ( a couple of months in some cases) and this was because I thought that the usual life span of a cartridge for my beard growth/coarseness was outrageous. My blades were dulling after a couple of days and you could tell by all the nicks and weepers.
So now I have a system/tool that allows me to change blades without me worrying about the costs, yes, I do buy tons of razors, but in the end, I don't see it as something that was going to save me any money, but rather as something I do for fun in the mornings.
