I'm gonna be honest al, I might be interested in moving into the world of semi diposable shaving
what were your capital costs to set up? and how do the running costs compare to disposables and shaving gel?

Capital Input come to £20 for the razor, about £10-£15 for a brush, shaving cream is about a tenner for a big old pot that'll last you months
and the blades I like are £30 for 100, and each blade should last you about 4-5 shaves (more if you have soft girly fuzz).

It can be done a lot cheaper if you don't require special stuff.
of course this means not bragging on the internet....

You could lose the brush and cream, but it would be a false economy as the brush helps lift your hairs and allows a closer shave
You couldn't get a razor cheaper than £20, but you could buy blades that are only £10 for 100. But as I said in the OP, I think the extra money gives better value since the blades are sharper and last longer.
