Works out about £125 in products not counting the razor, brush or blades!!


It got me thinking about what my SOTD ,posted yesterday, amounts to in products.

Proraso pre/post = 7.90
Tobs cream = 4.99
Alum = pif
Proraso A/S £2 ish sample

Round it up to say £15, I know what I would rather use

That's a pretty intense set-up for daily shaving. Far be it from me to quibble with anyone's choices, but i'm fairly confident that if he had just stopped using Merkur blades he could have improved his shave. Probably even saving money considering the price of a Merkur 5 pack... No wonder that Feather felt like a dream.

I'm happy he's happy .

I saw some Merkur blades (5 pack) somewhere not too long ago and they had a price tag on that I assumed was for 50 or 100.... but turned out to be for 5....

£6.95 :shock: :?

They only come in packs of ten, as far as I know.

Even so 70p per blade is insane

That link reminds me of Patrick Bateman in American Psycho.

"I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion."
