THEME CHEAP, Cheap, cheapest! There is no better feeling than saving precious mula! I love the smell of a clearance item and who doesn’t. No free shipping!!! Forget it!! So in order the save myself some hard earned cash I visited my local dealers where I was sure to get more for less! Here is my breakdown:

Brush: Walmart - bought 2 for a better deal so cost per BOAR brush =$3.69
Razor&Blade: Dollar Tree - pack of three so cost per razor =$.42
Soap: Amazon - $10 bucks, they even tell you is $1.92 per ounce!!
Splash: Amazon- $14 bucks! It had to match so I splurge on the cost. Still $4.12 per Fl Oz.
Frag: Target - Got an Edt Sampler for $14.99. Comes with 4 so cost per vial = $3.75
Bowl: Amazon - Viking Revolution- $7.88

TOTAL = $21.78 for a complete shave plus hardware!! NOT TOO SHABBY!!! Well so not the complete cheapest way to go but I wanted a splash and frag that would complement each other. Goodfellow No. 9 has a big cypress scent which complemented the proraso eucalyptus really well.

THE SHAVE You pay for what you get!!! I like eucalyptus but proraso does a mild job at it. It’s more of a eucalyptus that has been sitting around for a while and gets stale! Not sure if such thing is possible and I am biased because I like super strong scents!! Lather was fine nothing special! It did the job well. The razor was an absolute torture!! I remember the days using a disposable and I can feel the ingrown hairs coming. It’s it going to be a fun rest of day. The splash had a little more life to it so it wasn’t bad. The frag was all worth it!! Tons of strength pack in this little vial and a couple spritz got the job done!! Was it worth the savings??? Oh yeah… Sure felt great to save so much money in my shave today. In truth I may add some of these items to my daily routine like the splash. But not sure when I will use the razor ever again…LG2025???
