I don't know where you're getting your $100 from. A cheap handle cost me $15.00, is perfectly functional. I've been using the same one for 5 years. I buy blades

I don't know where you're getting your $100 from. A cheap handle cost me $15.00, is perfectly functional. I've been using the same one for 5 years. I buy blades at 2 - 5 cents apiece on Amazon, and they last me the same amount of time that a more expensive quadruple blade costs. It doesn't take me 10 minutes to lather either, and I've used both shaving cream and shave soap without problems. I have an extremely heavy beard too.

- meatcar 11y agoAn Omega boar bristle brush goes for <$10 CAD in my neighbourhood drug store. They also stock Proraso shaving soaps/creams, a container of which lasts me a good 1.5-2 years. Boar bristle brushes require a bit of prep to use, see https://www.reddit.com/r/wicked_edge/wiki/brushes#wiki_boar_bristle https://www.reddit.com/r/wicked_edge/wiki/brushes#wiki_boar_.... I just throw it in the sink for a soak before I hop in the shower. As with most things, it's easy to get sucked in and blow $100s on your setup, but you don't have to. I spent <$50 to get started.
