This may be a means to rationalize spending money on gear I technically don't need but I put it to you that shaving as a hobby is not expensive. Even with razors that cost hundreds of dollars along with soaps and creams and aftershaves and balms and everything else. Compared to owning a boat or a motorcycle, or collecting other things like coins, stamps, and sports memorabilia, shaving is an inexpensive alternative. Sure, you can get well into the thousands of dollars but, even then, the gear itself has residual value unlike putting $150 worth of gas in your boat or paying for a track day where that money is just gone. I also like to use fancy coffee or eating at a restaurant comparison. Many of us routinely purchase expensive coffee or eat at a restaurant and pay many tens or hundreds of dollars without thinking about it yet we'll agonize over spending $25 on blades or soap or something.
So what do you think? Do you have more expensive hobbies? Do you spend freely on shaving supplies or do you agonize over purchase? Am I just trying to justify spending money?
