    Totally agree. Plus the shaves are actually enjoyable now.

    Its so cool turning something you hate into a enjoyable experience and the fact it can be a hobby is even better.

    Im constantly looking even if i dont buy. Just to see what is out there.

    Oh i definitely look and buy less now. Trying to just enjoy the stuff i already own. From my experience expensive doesnt mean quality. Ive owned about every brand of soap made and the higher dollar ones in most cases aren't worth the money. But i will never knock someone for what they enjoy.

    myself included.i like the middle shelf stuff the best but my gillettes have to be near mint..just a choice i made.i have made the stuff i have work for me and am glad i did..i don't like to chase trends.

    Great post. I agree. There are definitely products that are marketing hype but thats really in every hobby. Some of the hyped products are just average to me but if someone else loves them then im cool with it.

    I think stirling, mikes, tiki, a&e, and mickey lee are far better than the mdc's and other high priced soaps and ive owned them all.

    Here’s mine!!! I was going to get a drillbit and makes holes for my safety razors but I like having them where they are won’t get tarnished from the perspiration and steam from a person taking a shower. Like that red velvet case? Yeah this one person gave it to me for free and had an old 70s cartridge razor handle in it so I figured I’d put to good use!!!
