I was going to say the exact same thing. Loved my Cracker Jacks and Dixie Cup. Why fix what ain't broken?

PCDAD -- on my sub, 120 or so enlisted men shared five sinks in the Ops Compartment heads and two sinks in the Missile Compartment head. There was no restriction on what you used to remove the hair from your face (or head). But if you took more than five or ten minutes at the sink, there would be a line of ****ed off shipmates behind you ready to slap you silly because they want to get up to the mess deck and eat before going on watch.
Namaste,
