    This thread is going to be bad for my bank balance. I am resisting the urge to visit Whippeddog, Gemstar customs, and ebay right now.

    Switching to traditional shaving will save you money from expensive cartridges they said...

    So far I have only spent about $400 on traditional shaving and if I didn't buy anything else I could comfortably shave for the next 3 years so I could see the savings if the ADs would stay quiet. When do the ADs ever stay quiet?

    Restored George Wostenholm & Son 'Pipe' 7/8" — a birthday gift purchased by my wife at an antique store in Grass Valley for $20.
    A lovely gift that has turned into arguably my favorite razor…
    'happy birthday to me, March 2014'….razor in need of some new scales and blade clean up….

    And a hefty one, too! Those old Sheffield wedge/near-wedges pack a lot of steel!
