I have been pondering the idea of a setting a monthly budget for buying shaving gear. Anyone out there set a budget for buying shave gear? If so, how is that working for you?

Absolutely not.

If I did need to think about a shave budget, I'd probably give my head a shake unless my wife shook it off my neck by strangling me, which would be deserving.

I'd rather budget for a hobby that I can enjoy for more then 15min a day and maybe include my family and friends.

not per se, no. I try to justify new purchases by moving products I currently own that I don't want/need/use.

My reality sensor is my biggest enabler, my wife. She monitor my spending and she tells me when it is good enough. I couldn't put myself on a self administered budget, Big Grin

For the record, I can't complain, she is very generous.

I don't have a budget, per se. However, if I think the price is too much then I won't get something. Also, I enjoy my soaps but don't feel the need to get five or more at once. Therefore, my 'budget' stays pretty much contained.

I am determined not to spend a penny more than I must.

Unless it is an item I want.

I don't really budget, although I try to pay prices that I consider "reasonable," and as others have said, I attempt to maintain a balance between intake and output, selling off items as I obtain new ones. This is especially true of brushes and software.

My shave budget seems to be: Spend until the bank account is depleted and mortgage payments cannot be made.



Luckily, I have self restrain and I've been able to pay the mortgage. Also, I have pretty much purchased all I need (soaps, razors, aftershaves, blades) for now -- all I will need is a tweak here and there from time to time.

A budget? That might actually keep me from buying something I want.

My only budget is top quality gear that works for me. No more need to have 20 razors and 50 soaps. That was a headache.
