No shaving brushes or soaps seems a little far through. I'm sure there are things in daily use, pens or pencils which could be far easier to use as a weapon.

I get some funny looks too. I seem to be cutting my lip a lot ATM which could be one of the reasons.
That's hilarious *and* I am now really, really craving a ploughman's lunch...

I too can understand the prohibition on the SR in any kind of prison environment, regardless of which level of security. I think there would be just too high a potential for someone doing harm to himself or others for it to be allowed. As for the soap and brush...? I'm kind of baffled by that one too.
