Crewman #42 still in.

Had a close call last night when I was perusing a couple of my favourite vendors and an R41 Twist somehow found its way into my basket...

Discipline prevailed and this morning's shave vindicated my abstention.

If you don't hate the lighter and slimmer handle of the R103 there's absolutely no reason to add the Twist version to your rotation now and to skip the journey. The shaves are likely to be rather equal despite the different spects of the Twist handle.

Yes, thankfully someone else purchased the Rockwell 6s that was for sale on this sites trade forum. Not sure I would have had the will power to pass if it had stayed there.

All part of the fun though. If it was easy - every forum member would be in this thread 😉
 
My replenishment arrived yesterday: Ann Bonny soap and splash, WSP sandalwood splash,another bottle of Ogalalla original splash, plus a tub of Wood and Spice preshave. I'm set for the next 12 months with my exception clear.
My tub of Ogalalla soap was down to a ring, so I scraped it out and melted it down with the contents of my shave stick; not sure which one counts as "done" but there's my first soap.
Cracked a fresh tub of RR Alchemy with the matching splash, not gonna lie this stuff smells fantastic and I was tempted to re-order on principle before the 14th - but I didn't. It's definitely on my restock list for next year already.
Old habits die hard, even after a few consecutive years of sabbatical.

Frag: 1 (Grey Quartz)
Splash: 1 (Ogallala)
Soap: 1 (Ogallala)
 
Sta Wars, Star Trek....what's the difference [emoji14][emoji14][emoji14][emoji14].


I have never watched Star Trek.

That is giving you a warped perspective. 🌀 :biggrin:

If you have Amazon Prime you can watch the remastered versions for free without any annoying commercials. That is, if you have any interest in the series.
