This is somewhat off of the subject, but since you guys are talking about thrift and conservation, may I suggest that you consider using a straight razor? They still make some fine ones and they aren't that expensive. I've been using one for several years now and it's nice to not have to shell out $10 to buy "Mach 3" razor replacements.

I also save bits and pieces of money on other little things and the total savings amounts to about $80 per month. I've been socking away that $80 every month for 2 years and plan to continue for at least another 30. By then it'll be a handsome sum.

I personally use a Gilette "ATRA" razor and find it quite adequate to its task, though refills for same are becoming somewhat difficult to find.

And to think that we all laughed at the SNL skit that parodied the 3 bladed shaving tool.........

There is nothing wrong with frugality but I suspect you shave more often than I do. I don't think my razor budget is anywhere near substantial.
