July 28, 2023 Frugal Friday

  • Prep: Warm Shower
  • Brush: Zenith 80R Boar Brush
  • Razor: Bevel Essentials Disposable #JETSETTER
  • Blade: Bevel Essentials Disposable (1)
  • Lather: Arko
  • Post Shave: Aqua Velva - Musk
  • Fragrance: Parfum Belcam - Classic Match Y by Yves Saint Laurent

How could I not use Arko today, is there actually anything in this hobby cheaper than Arko? I'm one of those that doesn't mind Arko, but talk about a shave with zero skin food. I could almost use the lack of skin care ingredients as my software link today tbh. As such everything is linked by being on theme.

Challenge - Everything today, software and hardware, is the cheapest stuff I have.

Arko is on saleon Amazon currently for $19 for 12 sticks which is about 61 cents an ounce. At normal price ist only $22 for 12 which is still only around 70 cents per ounce.

The Zenith I bought from an old listing that was normally priced at just $7.99

The Bevel razor came in a 5 pack for just under $10. So about $1.90 for blade and razor.

Then the post shave and fragrance were both Walmart specials. Post shave was just over $3 while the fragrance was just over $7.

I'm almost as happy as my wife is about all the money I saved on today's shave!
