Jul 28, 2023 - Frugal Friday

  • Prep: Klar - Activated Charcoal - Face Soap
  • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. Green & Ivory 24mm Synthetic 2-Band Knot
  • Razor: BAILI BR 176
  • Blade: Perma-Sharp Super [5]
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Saguaro Blossom - Soap
  • Post Shave: Pitralon - Swiss - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Armaf Perfume - Tres Nuit - Eau de Toilette

So after taking into account market prices and excluding soap that I bought on sale, Stirling still comes in as the cheapest soap at almost USD $0.09 per gram or $2.46 an ounce. The Stirling synthetic brush was a steal at USD $11.99. While I bought it on sale, it's still on sale for that price now at the Stirling website.

The BAILI was USD $10.99 and 100 Permasharp blades were USD $0.11 each. The Swiss Pitralon comes out to 0.06€ per ml, and the fragrance set me back 0.22€ per ml.

Saguaro Blossom and the Pitralon worked really well together. Tres Nuit was not quite as complementary, but it's still a great scent. It's a dupe of Creed's Green Irish Tweed.
