No problem! The stick refill (which doesn't include the plastic tube that makes it easier to use as a stick) costs $9 at WestCoastShaving. At 3.5 oz, that's $2.57/oz. The bowl refill is 4.5oz for $15.90 currently, or $3.61/oz. Plus I think when I got my stick refills there was a Black Friday sale going on, and it was just silly cheap. It's not the big of a difference, and shaving a stick down can be messy, so I've been tempted by the bowl refill too. It seems like the bowl refill price is lower now than it was a couple months ago.Pardon the newbie question, but why would you grate a stick when you could just buy the puck? The cost per ounce for the puck is even cheaper (on Amazon).
