Jul. 28, 2023 - Cheap Cheap

  • Prep: CeraVe - Hydrating Facial Cleanser

  • Brush: Dreadnought Avenger

  • Razor: GEM Junior

  • Blade: GEM PTFE (1)

  • Lather: Arko - Shave Stick

  • Post Shave: T.N. Dickinson’s - Witch Hazel

  • Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz - SIR Irish Moos

Todays shave sponsored by the letter “$” and the number “free.”

Todays daily challenge totally messed up my calendar earlier in the month because I originally had Moos EdT for Fougère Friday but realized it’s my cheapest per ml frag and had to save it for today.

Edit: forgot to say how awesome saving money is! As a father of two boys life is fucking expensive! So to take the chance and see how cheap this could be was refreshing. Now I’m never going to swap over to Arko full time because I love my smellz too much but it provided a perfectly serviceable shave! The brush on the other hand…total trash! I got less than what I paid for with it!

My pre shave is the only one I have so it’s my cheapest ✅

My brush I got for $3.75 and definitely overpaid for it ✅

My razor was hard to find an old MSRP for but I got it in a bundle of razors so it was the cheapest for me. Also the cheapest to buy right now. ✅

My blade is the only GEM blade I have. Also cost per shave is the lowest. $20/100 blades and easily get 30+ shaves from them. So cost is below $0.01 per shave. Compared to Astra Greens which are $7/100 and I get ~6 shaves per makes it right at $0.01 per shave. ✅

Arko is $2.99/75g stick or $1.13/1oz. Even cheaper than the gold standard of Stirling at $2.45/1oz! ✅

The Witch Hazel splash I get at Walmart and is $3.98/16oz bottle or $0.25/1oz! ✅

SIR Irish Moos I got at SmallFlower for $28.50/50ml. That puts it at $0.57/ml and everything else I have is at least $1.00/ml so cheapest by far! ✅

Todays #photocontest theme is ditches/trenches/holes in the ground. I took a fun interpretation of this and built a >!Hobbit Hole!<
