they must have learned it from all the printer companies that sell printers for less than the refill inks

Recent convert to DE shaving and have found that my skin is less irritated, hair grows back softer, no ingrown hairs, plus I look badass doing all this lol. Forgot to mention that the almost all DE blades are dirt cheap. For instance...http://www.amazon.com/SHARK-CHROME-D...7492505&sr=8-1 Each blade lasting a couple shaves.

I think a lot of printers or promotional printers (from dell, hp, etc) come with 'sample' ink cartridges. I remember they offered a free (after rebate) printer with my laptop but it said it could only print 150 pages or something in fine print.

+1 on the DE razors. I picked up a 1961 Gillette a little over a month ago. That, along with the pre-shave oil, shave cream, and lotion from The Art of Shaving and I'm good to go. I ordered a 100 razor sample pack off of Amazon for 20 bucks. I've yet to find cheaper blades.

How much did you pay after all was said and done?

I'm having a hard time convincing myself to go full wet shaving after looking at the cost of everything needed.

^ all that for shaving sounds as complicated as buying a Porsche Cayenne, trailer hitch, antique wooden boat, and white loafers.

DE is the bomb. You can spend a LOT of money on it, though. A simple setup will cost you around $30.

I can't use preshave oils... never really liked them and don't think they make a huge difference.

Razor + Blades ended up at ~35 bucks after shipping. The set of Soaps and such was a "gift" from my wife (but it's around 75 otherwise). But you can spend less and still get a good shave though.

I can't shave normally cause my skin gets really irritated. I'll only do it when I need to. Otherwise I use a beard trimmer and just cut it as close as I can get it.
