Somehow, I got on the email list of a "wonderful" purveyor of shaving equipment. This vendor really promotes the Art of Shaving in a big big way. Today, their email was the last straw. They solicited me to buy a new Engine-Turned Safety Razor from Merkur for only $85 in stores.
Now, I know their price structure and many here will tell you that they are about DOUBLE what you can pay elsewhere.
So, for the newbies who are just getting into this, take a look at the ad above and then take a look at this ebay BUY IT NOW.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Merkur-Safe...Long-Engine-Turned-Handle-47001-/150868806948
This ebay listing was the first thing Google turned up, likely it can be found for a few bucks less if you really look hard.
Newbies, save your money, learn the Art of Shaving elsewhere and be happy with your razor because it is both quality, and affordable.
Mods, if I have stepped on any toes, please pardon me, but he newbies need to know.
