July 28, 2023 – Cheap Shaves

  • Brush: Maggard Razors Timberwolf
  • Razor: No Name Generic Safety Razor
  • Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux (1)
  • Lather: LEA – Classic
  • Post Shave: Humphrey’s- Witch Hazel

Well, a cheap shave but a solid shave, all things considered. The razor was a freebie that came with a stand that I bought. There was also a pure badger brush that was cracked down the middle of the handle. I still have the stand, though. So $0. The soap, LEA, was a Maggard Black Friday deal for $2.99, I think, as was the brush, which if memory serves me was around $7. The brush is absolutely one of my go-to brushes proving the cost doesn’t always equal quality. The aftershave is a witch hazel that came from Marshall’s for 3.99. I’ve had it for many years. The blade came free with something I bought on Shave Bazaar.

The razor has only been used once before and has rust all on the inside but I kept it for something like this. It is very bitey and not something I will use often, but passable.

Altogether, this shave came in around $13
