Frugal Friday

• Brush: I Am (house brand of local grocery store chain Migros)
• Razor: Wilkinson Sword
• Blade: Wilkinson Sword
• Lather: Arko – Berber Tiraş sabunu
• Post Shave: Wars – Classic - Energetyzujący Płyn Po Goleniu
• Fragrance: Brut — Original

Theme: To my chagrin, the cheapest soap by weight in my den seems to be Arko at CHF 22.80/kg, eking out a narrow victory over my palmolive stick (CHF 30.67/kg) which I bought in my local pharmacy a few years ago when it went out of production. The soap performs well enough, but I struggle with the scent. This is based on a technicality, because I do own an even cheaper soap, Vitos, but it's in my mountain den, so it's not in my collection today.

Relevant post and splash: also the cheapest in my den. Wars is CHF 43.33/l and Brut CHF 78.00/l.

Challenge: Luckily I got rid of my horrible clipped boar brushes at CHF 1.50 per brush last year after Frugal Friday (I bought them for my Rookie Lather Games, when there was still a bonus point for using 30 brushes and they were tërrible), so this brush is my new cheapest one at CHF 6.80. It's still garbage, but less. The Wilkinson razor is GBP 4.99 including the blades, making it my cheapest. Saving so much money on today's shave wasn't worth using that brush. I'm getting rid of the brush and Arko.
