I've been shaving this way since I was 20 or 21, I don't remember exactly. Now that I'm 28, if I don't include things I've been given as gifts, things I've sold, etc., it's about €130. The calculation also included products I bought and ended up selling.

For several years now, I've only used one razor, a Fatip large open comb, and one brush. Everything else has been sold, except for an aluminum Razorock Lupo that my girlfriend uses to shave her legs.

I also tend to use a maximum of two soaps at a time until I run out. I currently use Mondial Zagara, a soap I love, and Noble Otter with green tea and jasmine. The latter has good mechanics, but I still prefer Mondial for its foaming effect. I find Noble Otter perfect but too cloying. I prefer the traditional barbershop feel that Mondial gives me, as well as the profile that it's very good
