OMG, I've become a bit evanescent. It's the pills!
Should you be “committed” to the BOSC (Brotherhood of Shaving Crazies)?

I undoubtedly belong to category 3: Obsessed!
After years, however, I still have not been able to classify myself as lucky or unlucky.
It depends on the points of view!

I have been having BOSC moments over the past few weeks. I got a very nice Timeless Ti matte finish 0.68OC razor scalloped base plate and cap with my favorite handle: the Ti Crown. It felt much too light to me. I used it a few times to see if I could like the lighter weight. I just couldn’t.
I sold it here to a very nice gentleman and ordered the same razor, but with a SS head, polished finish this time. The balance was just a bit too tilted towards the razor head. Solution? Buy a complete Ti head. I tried both combinations and both were an improvement for me.
If forced to choose, I’d pick the SS Cap and Ti base plate. I’m mostly likely going to keep both. During this little venture, I ended up with a polished 0.68OC scalloped base plate and scalloped top in SS. The base plate was shipped to me by mistake and I didn’t feel comfortable with Jeremiah’s offer just to keep it. The compromise was to buy the polished SS scalloped Cap. That I should sell, but I don’t want to part with one of my Ti Crown handles and stand. It’s from their scratch and dent section so it isn’t worth as much. If I price it the way I normally do, subtract the shipping and PayPal fees, it’s hardly worth it.

Yep, you've still got it!!
I started DE shaving 10 months ago. Now I have 42 razors (including some injectors and Gem-type SE razors), plus 3 more in the mail. I have turned 2 friends into DE shavers. I experiment a bit. The girlfriend no longer bothers to even roll her eyes, and she has that thousand-yard stare thing happening when I mention razors.
I think I'm solidly in

Yeah, maybe. I wonder if he's going to become an official member with an "I'm in" rather than being "uncommitted" with his "I think I'm in."Oh, big nurse, we got one.
Oh, I'm in all right!
The "think" was just me trying not to shine too bright a light on my addiction
