July 28, 2023 – LG23 Day 28: Frugal Torture Friday

  • Brush: Perfecto Pure Badger 20mm #WEDONTNEEDNOSTINKINGBADGERS
  • Razor: Assured for Men Safety Razor
  • Blade: Voskhod (1)
  • Lather: Williams – Mug Soap
  • Post Shave: Assured for Men – Original Formula
  • Fragrance: EaD – ED Uni – EdT

It’s like déja vu all over again, but not really. Drugstores are not just places to find cheap canned shaving goo. In the US, there is a proliferation of ̶p̶r̶e̶c̶i̶s̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶i̶n̶s̶t̶r̶u̶m̶e̶n̶t̶s̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶t̶o̶r̶t̶u̶r̶e̶ frugally priced shaving wares at any Dollar(25) Tree store suitable for today’s S̶a̶d̶i̶s̶t̶i̶c̶ Special Challenge where I perform daring feats of masochism not for the faint of heart.

The cost (USD) of today’s shave: * Brush: Perfecto “Thousand Needle” $0.34/g * “Where’s the” Lather: $0.03/g * “Skin Graft Slicer: $0.05/g * Eau de Floor Cleaner: $0.01/mL * Wannabe One: $0.07/mL

Total Unit Cost: $0.50

Fifty cents a shave. Now that is a value, people! We can get more people into our hobby if we flood the market with Dollar Tree products! Next up, Dollar Tree December. Who needs Austere August when you can devote a whole month to the frugality of a Dollar Tree shave?!? For just pennies a day you can join our illustrious ranks! Pennies a day and a small skin donation and you will be the envy of your once-called friends and the laughingstock of anyone else who has pity enough to gaze upon your disfigured face. Warning: This shave may cause cancer in California.

Spelling it out for the djudges Lather, post, and fragrance are cheap and pathetic.
