I did this about a decade ago at this point and I spend maybe $50 a year on a new tub of soap and a pack of razors. I replaced the brush a year or two ago. If you spend a good amount of money up front on quality shaving gear, you save in the long run.

The "Gillete" products are just a scam, we should all be shaving like our grandfathers did.

Did the same on the recommendation of a local merchant who sells soap and sundries while picking up some goods couldn't be happier.
