July 28, 2023 – Frugal Friday
- Brush: Butler & Crispe – H1 Boar
- Razor: Focus – Plastic Slant
- Blade: Polsilver (2)
- Lather: TDS – Red Fragrance Soap Stick
- Post Shave: Tarr – Super
So as per the challenge I went with the least costly items in the den.
- Soap – 6p a Gram
- Splash – 2p a ml
- Brush – No idea new but £4 on ebay
- Razor – £6.50
This Soap stick has been in the den for a very long time just waiting for it’s time to shine, I think I probably cost me way less than the current price of £3 but I have no idea so I will stick to 6p. Straight from the wrapper this was a nice strong powder and herby scent. When I started to lather I don’t know if it was the soap for the brush but it started to smell like car brake pads aisle at work, now if you don’t know what brake pads smell like to give you an idea we call that aisle the stinking granny pants aisle just so you have an idea.
Performance wise I’m awful with a bowl lather but it produced enough for my purpose and the scent tamed a little, for the price honestly it’s a decent Soap and the do many scents I believe now not just this granny undergarments one.
The razor has been left over since the last LG when I needed it for a hashtag completion, if I’m honest it’s sodding awful. It’s light and does really cut anything at all, I’m not saying it’s price related just poor design for my thick hair.
Tarr Super, was a gift but seems to retail around £3 the scent is a nice Fresh Cologne but sadly it’s very short lived. I’m sure it reminds me of a shave Soap I just can’t remember which one, all in all a decent product just lacking a little staying power.
Could I use this every day or even want to use this? Um nope, if I changed out the razor for something a little heavier and the soap for something a little less granny knickers then sure I would low cost shave every day. That said we are shaving Degenerates and the thrill never dies it just sleeps a little sometime till we need to chase that next set, Brush or Razor but now and agaits nice to use some of the more simpler items.
