    Mine too...You mean everybody's lives are not like that....:cool:

    Regan you wanted to know how the Slim-Twist shaves?
    Well lets see....The Slim-Twist was the British version of the U.S. Knack...Made from 1968 to 1970 something...It's basically a Super Speed with a plastic handle and the TTO knob is at the top so you can hold it and open it with the same hand...It's very light...app.30 something g's...
    It's suprisingly well made, although cheap looking...Its a milder shaver but considerably more aggressive than the Weishi...More like the Super Speed with the Black handle from the '70's...All in all a very cool razor...I like the being able to hold and open with the same hand ability...But I wouldn't trade my '52 Super Speed....But I would like to have one again...With a good blade, they give a great shave, light, flat head, very manueverable, almost fool-proof....Sounds like most Super Speeds doesn't it ?..:D
