  • Safety razor (e.g Merkur 34c)
  • Wahl haircut clippers
  • Redwings leather boots
  • Top grain leather wallet

Any of this things cost less than $100 and easily can last a life time.

Could also get a fatip for around 20 - 35ish USD depending on comb type. Chrome/nickle plated machined brass will last for years

I like Fatip. A Gentile is probably my next razor purchase. The standard ones are a tad more aggressive than what I typically like.

Where can i get the redwings for $100?

Shameless plug for the wiki associated with my instance (sub.wetshaving.social).

Hair clippers and if your hairstyle is one you can cut yourself, you'll be saving even more!

A wallet?

Let’s say a guy pulls a knife on you to mug you. What do you do? You go fumbling for your wallet. And you go fumbling for your wallet. Well, in that split-second, that’s when he’s going to stab you. So here’s what you do. You kids get yourselves a money clip. Okay, you can get these at any haberdashery. You put a $50 bill in the money clip then when a guy flashes a blade, you go, ‘You want my money, go get it!’ Then you run the other direction.”
