The best 10 bucks you ever spent (on shaving)

[borwish]

Overall because it gets the most use is my Yaqi Timberwolf 26mm brush from the Yaqi Factory Store on AliExpress. It was less than $7 during a flash sale.

Razor wise is 1953 Super Speed for $6 shipped.

Soap wise Master Soap Creations Apricot Pie from Pasteur's---$9.99 before taxes for 6 ounces! If taxes takes it over the limit then a tube of Proraso red.

Aftershave wise VIBR. Freakin awesome stuff.

Best $1.49 I've spent on shaving besides a stick of Irisch Moos for €1

AoS badger brushes were made by Mühle

 

[RookieGuy]

Good question. Each of my vintage Gillette razors were under $10. My shave mug and a brush it came with.

 

[gpjoe]

Any of my Omega boar brushes or vintage Gillette Tech razors.

Been looking for a Gillette blade dispenser for a while now.
Over the weekend this popped up on ebay, wound up being $15.99 shipped. The Aristocrat was an added bonus.

Still looking for a $10 deal, this was close enough for me.

For me, a bottle of Pinaud Clubman A/S for $7.89 (USD).

Found these at an antique shop some years ago. Two Slims, an English Rocket and an English Knack/Slim Twist.

I asked the prices and the lady said they're each $1. Needless to say I splurged and bought them all. Oh, and lunch after at the KFC down the road was six bucks so grand total, my best $10 spent on shaving.

WOW!!

My first puck of Haslinger’s (think it was the schafmilch) for less than $10!!

 

[Hair Scraper]

Lot’s of old Gillette razors including a favorite late ‘40’s Super Speed for $9.

And if I can brag a bit, I did buy a ‘49 Executive for $13.50; they originally sold for $10! That’s a 35% increase due to the cost of living these days.

Half dozen Arko sticks.

I had to really think, but the best $10 purchase was a 1906 single ring for $9.95 at a pawn shop. I didn't even try to talk them down.

 

[Knuckleballer]

Any variety set of 100 blades (18-20 tucks depending on how many 10 packs come with a given set) $9.99. Often there’s blades included that sell for more per 100 than $9.99. I enjoy trying out different blades and collecting the various tucks for their graphics. Basically if I like the artwork on the tuck I will try a blade, they all seem to work anywhere from well to great for me with the exception of Astra SP. I can’t decide whether or not to try a blade based on the reviews I have read in the past on different blades back when I was wanting to get into trying other blades, seems the ones many YouTube people fawn over I find very overhyped and overrated. Plus virtually none of them are shaving off any facial hair in their videos, more like just shaving off shaving soap, aside from that guy from Razor Emporium who has a dense thick beard.

Sorry not laughing at you, I just love dogs and the thought of them made me laugh!
How convenient and ironic at the same time!

Westcoast shaving had Master Soap Creations soaps for $8 in their Black Friday sale. I managed to get Dark Blue. First shave was today and it was great.

Yaqi brushes FTW!!!

I believe a number of my vintage razors were below $10 excluding shipping and some other stuff was as well, but let’s take the safe side and say the best $10 was my Fatip Piccolo open comb. Marvellous razor and one I absolutely enjoy using.
