I hear people cite cost as a wet shaving criteria. Yeah, I know cartridges are expensive but seriously, I think it's something we just want to do. Cost is simply a justification for those who don't get it. If you add up my straights, my soaps, my brushes, my blades.... I could shave for 15 years with disposables for that amount. Of course I can shave for 15 years (at least) with what I now have in wet shaving gear too so.....? Still, it's the experience of the shave. For me, at least. I'd say I'm closer to 500 now. So I'm good for a while. Absolutely. And once you 'take that hill' it'll be the ongoing satisfaction of being able to do it. Ken
