Nor do they require lapping. For that reason, barber hones are very handy for travel or deployment.

Everyone seemed to answer your main ?, I just wanted to thank you for what your doing and God Bless You

Take into consideration if you are on a FOB or over the wire as REMF's have hot water and showers, combat ops don't. I went very long periods of time without. During ODS as a Combat Medic I was taking showers with a 5 Gal can heated in the sun.

Be safe Brother and maybe I'll see ya in 6-8 months.

I'm unqualified to answer your question! However as a Veteran I would humbly thank you for your service! My 18 year old son has his sights set on becoming a Marine. He is still a Junior in High School with a B average.

OH! Yes he shaves with a straight razor!!

I wish you well and a safe return! I salute you!

Two things...

1. Thank You for your Service

2. Lynn and Don who own SRD are two of the nicest guys you will ever get the pleasure of knowing, send them an e-mail or a PM on here tell them what you have planned, and I would bet my last dollar they will make sure you have the best set up to take with you inside of your budget....

Thank you for your service!

not too much to add except thanks for your service and come back safely. We will need soldiers among our ranks when we storm the schick and gilette HQ's

Thumperx72,

Thank you for your courage and your service. May God be with you and bring you safely home.

And also sincere thank you. Make it home.

If you are gonna be a fobbit, take the Boker. If you are going to be in a COB and go out every day then go on whipped dog.com and buy a cheaper sound blade that you can stand to lose or break. I used a old Red Imp as my bush razor. I actualy liked the str8ts in the field because the crud from patroling didn't get clogged like a regular razor. THe sweat will act as a lubricant when shaving. Now if you have never honed before then bring some disposables just in case you find out you can't hone. You will quickly become an unwelcome guest if you ask to borrow razors.... Also it takes time to shave with a str8t if you never used one. If you on a COB you may be shaving in the dark...Not so much fun with a str8t. Just things to consider. Saying that.....If you are a fobbit, then shaving will be th most fun you will have all day. Good luck.
