Had a nice shave with a brand new ( To me) soap from Barrister and Mann called Fougere Gothique.
What the devil might smell like.
"An eerily smooth, smoky fougère with a distinctly “ashy” character and the dark cast of some ancient atrocity. Timelessly elegant and refined, Fougère Gothique is a fragrance for someone accustomed to the fruits of all-encompassing power. This rich, elemental scent features notes of black ashes, bergamot, lavender, cedar, sandalwood, geranium, leather, tuberose, burning wood, mushroom, oakmoss, tonka bean, vetiver, musk, and balsam fir absolute."

I haven't bought a blade in over two years and won't need to for about another 20 years.
My Gillettes have 5 blades and a whistle in the handle.
This. You get a better shave, you save a ton of $4 over cartridge blades and shaving becomes an experience again. Slow down, take your time and enjoy it
. I started back in the 60’s with a Gillette. Several years later the first “2 blade” came out, got one. Later, the “Trac 3” with three blades, and then, finally one of the 4 blade beasts. I was shaving one day a few years ago and the synopses finally fired and I ask myself “self, why in heck do you need FOUR blades to shave your mug?”. Answer: you don’t -You shaved for years with ONE. That day I ordered a new Razor and have used an old fashioned razor blade ever since. Today a lot of men have never actually shaved with a blade. Try it!

And run about $20/5 cartridges.

The irony is that with a single blade I get a far closer shave than you ever will with a multi-blade cartridge.
I admit I went overboard when I first got into wet shaving, but if one were so inclined you could spend about $75-$100 and wouldn't need to buy any other shaving related products for years.

No, Neither of them, but I do occasionally shave with one of the straights on the shelf above it.
That space is shared between shaving crap and knives. The knives in there are only the good ones. I have a duffel bag full of Boker autos, giant Rambo knives bought from flea markets and other low end blades. Also you'll notice some empty spaces on the 3rd shelf down. A pair of Benchmades usually sit there, but when I took this picture they were on my person.
This. A pack of 100 blades is less than 3 or 4 “cartridges”.
