Decisions, decisions

[Haggises]

Going on a 12 day vacation to the mother country (Blighty), my first major trip while DE/SE shaving.
What to take, what to take?
Soap: Half stick Arko. I figure on stocking up on Palmolive and others while I'm there.
Brush: Vie-Long 12705. Getting better at face lathering and this chap seems to love it.
ASB: Nivea sensitive.
Astringent: Alum block instead of Witch Hazel.

Blades: Voskhods or GEM PTFE depending on....
Razor: Ummmm. Hmmmm. Errrrr. SE or DE or both?
SE - I'd probably take the ER 1914. or the 1924. Or the G bar. Maybe the G bar.
DE - Slim or Old OC or 40s SS or SA or Blue Tip or.........

I have a hard enough time choosing the daily shave. This is a good chance to force me to really get to know one particular razor where my RAD doesn't get in the way.
How does one choose?

Take one. Lay the SE's out of the counter. Number them with a piece of paper + SE. Stick said paper in a hat. Pick 1. Do the same with the DE's...of course changing SE for DE. Pick 1.

Voila! You have your razor for the week. You'll be a master of that tool upon return.

That's not a bad idea. Let Fate decide

Take them all!

Or... even better, buy a whole den there!!

Can't risk overweight baggage fees!

Packing.......

So Arko, Alum, Vie Long, 2 Voskhod, 2 Rapira Platinum Lux, 2 Ladas, and the birth quarter Slim.
SEs got so much love over GEMini, this one is still crying.

Take my chances with the TSA luggage checkers
