Had a really nice shave today and it cost me pennies.
The razor in this pic cost me six bucks on amazon
The soap goes for less than 1.50 per puck and last for 6 months probably.
The blades came from a sample pack and 1 blade is probably 6 cents or so and lasts me up to 3 shaves usually.
First time with this treet king and it seemed very sharp and smooth.

I've yet to find a DE blade that doesn't give me insane razor burn and pull hairs. I've tried 3 different handles and probably 15 different blades., soaps, oils, the whole shebang.

Meanwhile I can use the same mach 3 I've used forever and it works perfectly. If you can give me a foolproof setup that will work 100% of the time I'm down, but I'm tired of wasting money on this shit if it's inferior every single time.

Gillette sales were already on a downward trajectory anyway gradually decreasing it’s market penetration due to low cost market entrants such as Harry’s and Dollar Shave.However, after screening of that ad, there was an unusual dip in sales. After the commencement of any kind of advertising campaign one should see some kind of positive sales trajectory. A flatline would be considered a failure, but a neg is considered a horror story, and there was a sharp neg and obvious consumer backlash.

I have a small knot shaving brush that I use to lather my neck and my cheeks because I have a full beard.
I keep in the mug with my soap.
I wet the brush with hot water then whip up a small lather in the coffee cup using circular motions on the puck.
You dont need much
Then just paint the neck and checks and pop the brush back in the cup
No need to even rinse it.
You can get a brush for 7 dollars on amazon

I would actually like to do this if I had more than 3 square inches of area to shave on my face.

Thats all i shave anon.
Just a bit of the neck then clean the edges.
Still worth it and cheaper to use a brush.
You dont waste anything

Found a bunch of cheap brushes sold locally. Might just take your technique and spoon out a chunk of soap and leave it in the bowl. Does the soap or brush ever get funky if you don't rinse it? It seems like a really economical solution if you never have to.

It's funny because when you look at that packaging and name brand you're supposed to assume it's the best, but these days from any big brand like that I assume it's worse quality an they're riding on name recognition.

>Does the soap or brush ever get funky if you don't rinse it?
Well I am using a soap puck so its not like the tubs full of softer soap that you scoop a bit out.
Second I live in the southwest where its pretty dry , nothing ever gets funky here like it does in the PNW
Third I am only adding very little water , I run the dry soap encrusted brush under the hot water for just a second and start lathering in the cup right away
