DE gang rise up!
Yeah the savings are real.
Though early on I went through a phase of buying vintage Gillettes, and spent an amount of money on different soaps and brushes and such.
I spent WAY less than some others have, by a wide margin. That, I know for sure. But still, probably a bit over $200 in extraneous accoutrements over the first couple years.
Eventually I settled on a Feather Popular, gives a dang fine shave for like $20.
Then my buddy talked me into getting an AS-D2 at the same time he was getting one. Cost $150, which is crazy, but it's solid stainless steel. The thing will outlive me a hundred times over. It's my daily driver now, and I've settled into one soap, all in all I'm very frugal.
Don't know how long it'll take to recoup my costs lol. But it HAS been 10 years since I got my as-d2.. That's $15 a year.
I feel like compared to cartridge plebs, I'm still ahead of the game ๐
