More money than sense?

• If anyone can give me a reason why I should buy this, I'd be very grateful. I'd be even more grateful if you'd give me reasons why I shouldn't buy it.

  I've been like a shaving set pervert since yesterday afternoon when I saw this, and I'm trying hard to fight the urge to get my wallet out of my trousers (pants).

• That is beautiful and could be a life long treasure. Just seeing that every morning would make any ones day. If you don't jump on it now, you'll be sorry later.

• Check out www.badgerandblade.com    It's a site dedicated to trafitional shaving, they may have an alternate vendor who might  have it at a better price.   It's a  great piece but I would suggest trying a cheap brush before spending that amount of  cash. I'm a bowl and brush laher guy myself and  I love it - will never go back to the canned crap.

• Thanks guys
  
  I'd never use a cheap brush. My last one cost me around $80 (in my local currency obviously). I never use canned crap either. Right now I'm using Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood shaving cream. Its excellent.

  Well I just found my old mug 'n' brush and gave them a good cleaning. Tomorrow I'll be near a CVS and will get a cake of soap to stick in the mug and we'll see what happens. Thanx for planting the seed.

• Wish I could be of assistance but....I have a very similar set that I got from Geo. Trumper. Mine wasn't quite so dear but then I bought it 20 years ago. Go on, be nice to yourself, few others will. This is a long term investment, not a disposable thing. It marks you as a gentleman of quality who understands their actions and will only accept the finest to accomplish that. It's the defining mark of the Gentleman Shaving Perv. Get it.

• Well thats the first time anyone has called me a gentleman in quite a while I usually just get the perv part, and not the gentleman part
  
  But yeah you're right, I think I'll treat myself. What the hell.

• You'll stop feeling guilty when you see and hold it in your hand....and the orgasmic feeling when you shave with it.
