I'd like to say I'm prety frugal with my living expenses. In my line of work you HAVE to be a saver. I don't eat out much, but there's no way I can get rid of my cell phone, land line, gas expenses, internet, etc. And the biggest chunk of my income goes into my business anyway.
So I prefer to think of ways I can make an additional $500/mo.
They last a long time. the strop might wearout every decade or two but not the razor.
Oh, you mean the "cut throat" razor?.....
j/k....figuruing the cost of disposables that I use (along w/baby oil & not shaving cream), I'd prob get my money back in 2 yrs or so if I started going to a straight razor....

A 4 inch long straight edge with a tang, a hinge and a folding handle.
I lived onboard submarines during my career, 7 months underwater each year, and aerosol cans are not allowed onboard.
After a few months underwater if you use disposables and run-out it becomes a problem.
A small cup with soap and a shaving brush works greater. Very cheap too!
When you need to carry everything you need for the next 6 months in one carry-on bag, how much stuff you have becomes a big issue.
We eat out 3 times a year: birthdays and anniversary (unless someone is treating us to dinner) and even then we keep it under $50 for the both of us.
We take our own lunches to work everyday.
We only drive to and from work and school. All errands are done on 1 day.
I guess I could cut our cell phones, internet and tv, but then we still would only be saving about $120/month.
In a couple of years (2010) our cars will be paid off and that will cut a huge expense from our budget.
Good point.
Carrying a huge debt load is not fun.
Banks make lots of money from folks who carry lots of debt.
Home mortgage, vehicle loans and CC balances; all add up and can take years to pay off.
