You broke a Rex? That must've been one hell of a drop!
If the cartridge is working for you, no need to change.
Needless to say I fell off the wagon later in this thread.
The screw on the top plate broke off. Probably just whatever way it landed.You broke a Rex? That must've been one hell of a drop!

Fancy giving this a try? All it costs to give it a go is special delivery postage to send it on to the next person:It’s half working, but I’ll return to DE again soon I reckon. Just keep prowling BST for a good medium-aggressive razor
Cartridges are too expensive. Especially whenever I have literally thousands of GSBs

Closed - Reggie's Razors Titan Pass Around - UK Titanium Razor
All, we have an exciting opportunity to try a razor from a UK artisan. Jonathan from Reggie's Razors has kindly supplied a Titan razor from his range for us to use in a UK pass around. It's a titanium razor that is designed, manufactured and finished in the UK. A stainless version is also...www.theshavingroom.co.uk
Matt at Rex Supply has kindly offered to repair the razor. So I just gotta make do for a couple of months while it finds its way to him and back over the Atlantic.
I put in for that Rocnel on BST, but was too slow.
I think I’ll just bide my time and keep an eye on BST. If whoever bought the rocnel doesn’t get along with it I’ll probably be all over it.
For now I’ll be mr cheap and just continue to endure cartridge shaving
Have you thought about a Lord L6? Less than a fiver. The head is like a more efficient DE89 style head. IMO, it's a gem of a razor head that goes under the radar. The handle is a bit too light though, but you can put the head on another handle.
I wish it were that simple. The screw is broken off the cap and lodged inside the handle.
It's not rusted or seized, it's just sitting there, turn it counterclockwise with some small pointy thing.I wish it were that simple. The screw is broken off the cap and lodged inside the handle.
Not all of us are cursed with small pointy things TobyIt's not rusted or seized, it's just sitting there, turn it counterclockwise with some small pointy thing.
Progressive restraint improvement!Is restraint an absolute or relative term?
Last month I was more restrained than the previous month, which was more restrained than the month prior to that.
Restrain as opposed to refrain?
If so I am getting there slowly
Ed, if you are in Belfast and want to borrow a safety razor until you get the Rex back or pick up something else I can lend you a Parker semi slant I just bought.Progressive restraint improvement!
I've been very restrained lately. I haven't bought a tub of soap in two years!
I have enough of it to shave daily for 200 years anyhow
As for blades, I think I have around a thousand GSBs so I don't anticipate buying any of them for quite some time, except when travelling

I work in town so happy if you want to pick it up from me sometime.
I’ve abstained all morning.I mean, it is a Sunday!I've abstained since 21st July. Going to try to abstain through all of August and see how I go from there.
I'm all-or-nothing when it comes to this malarkey and it could go either way.
