Thanked: 31Practice shaving to get fast. I see you're writing from Austrailia... never having had the chance to eat field rations with the Austrailian army, I wonder if you have the chemical water-activated heaters we have in our MREs? If so, activate the heater in a container of water, and use the hot water to shave. (NOTE: Don't use the water in the heater itself.) I've not had a problem in the field. Take a small (paddle, perhaps) strop unless you're barracked and have a place to stay for a while where you can ground your kit. Invest in a small mirror. (Survival/signal mirror can function as a shaving mirror if you put your mind to it.) Don't take an expensive razor to the field. For extended field ops, you may also consider a small polishing stone just in case. Enjoy.
