It is so nice to get a really good shave from cheap items! The most expensive item is the Moos fragrance and that was worth every penny! The worst part of my shave was the brush. It just might be the worst brush ever and cretainly is the worst one that I own! At $3.75 I totally overpaid for it but despite its avertisement of being “The Ultimate Shaving Brush for ReAl MeN!” it has no use other than qualifying for the RUNT and SMOLL tags. I lovingly refer to it as my "tiny shit brush" and for the other 11 months of the year let Woodstock play with it. I did manage to get a good lather, it just is the most stiff, pokey brush ever.
Daily Theme Justification: So this soap is quite the interesting item, I received it from u/mammothben in a PIF but the history of it is pretty cool. As can be seen in this comment from u/pppork, Free Soap Collective never charged any money for any of their soaps. It was created by Max Schaefer who raffled off (free entries) tubs of soap in a facebook group. So not only did I receive it for free but it has always been free therefore making it by default my cheapest soap product.
Relevant Post Shave & Frag: All on theme as my cheapest item per gram! Grand total of $0.61/g for all of these items! If you want the total cost of procuring them, it cost me $41.06 to buy all of the items, most of that coming from the full bottle of fragrance but can you really put a limit on the value per sniff of SIR Irisch Moos?
