SHAVING BUDGET
« on: February 13, 2009, 06:02:59 AM »
How much do you spend a month on shaving products?

I dread to think. What would be even scarier would be the monthly spend of all the SBG members  ???

I buy DE blades by the 100s for under $20, I have a stock of around 500 blades in 4 different brands (different DE razors prefer different blades).
I have 6 razors in my regular rotation that I probably spent over $100 for them all, they will out last me.
I use 2 shaving brushes that I made that cost me about $50.
Everything has long been paid for except shaving cream and With Hazel.
I use English shaving cream, Taylor of Old Bond Street, I pay $13 for a tub that last over 3 months.
I buy a couple bottles of Thayers With Hazel per year at about $8 per bottle.

Say a Fusion blade a week, $3, so that's $1.50 more than I paid when I had my dying mop, and a bottle of Headslick, $7-8, lasts two months or more, some Nivea balm--$5 or so, lasts 2-3 months, and some benzoyl peroxide 10% gel--$2.50 for 2 months.  I'm beating the price  of haircuts by at least 100%. 
Cost item, I picked up some Gillette Express flex blade disposables at WalMart this morning--over $6 for 4, not cheap, but worth a try--Noodles gave them high marks.
