A big process of our weird little hobby is trial and error. It can also get pricey: Trying new soaps/creams/blades/aftershaves/razors, etc. Of course, buying things we don't need is pretty much built into the hobby for a lot of us.
But sometimes there's a high-value item that we use almost every shave that is nice and cheap: It does the job, and costs very little. For me, this is Vaseline hand-lotion: It works as my after-shave balm and keeps my skin from drying out. Between Oct and May, I use it every shave. That, and a jar of it costs me about $8 and has lasted for a good 2.5 years. Not sure about everyone else, but finding something that works this well and is that inexpensive makes the cheap b*stard in me smile.
So, what's your high-value item? Something you love and use all the time that costs you almost nothing?
