So I switched from disposable Gillette whatever the newest blade was to a safety razor about 3 years ago. Now I don't grow a thick beard, I can shave 2 times a week and be totally fine. But way back when my wife and I wanted to reduce our eco footprint and I can say--my shaving choice has been that and more.
So three years ago I invested $180 in a razor, a brush, a stand and 3 soap dishes. In that same three years I invested 50 bucks in shave soap. That comes out to 6.50 a month for shaving. Now I know I don't shave as often as most, but I am absolutely spending less than when I was a member of the Glide boys of the month club. I have also reduced my eco footprint. I just re upped my soaps (which will last a year or more) for 40 bucks. I have a ton of blades left and my razor, brush and soap holders are forever buys. So now, my shave expenses are 3.35 a month.
I'm curious about other who actually shave-Are you straight razor? safety? disposable? How do you make your choices and why?
BTW If you are a straight or safety guy--what's your go to soap?
I've tried and still use--Henry Cavendish, Conk Worlds Bay Rum and Taylor Old Bond Sandalwood.
Thanks for the input.
