Thread: Shaving on vacation

Now I havnt gone on a trip since i started SRS thats involved a plane, and I'm wondering what people do? Bring your cream/soap, brush and razor and lather up in a coffee mug at the resort? Bring the whole works with you all 2 pounds of stuff ha ha? Say screw it and grab a bic?

Anyone had any problems with house keeping taking your razor? Am I over thinking this? ha ha

I screw it and grab my DE.

HA HA I skipped over the DE phase, right from mac 3 to SR

I am running the risk of SR heresy by making the following statement.

The Mach III is an excellent travel solution.

Good luck.

ha ha i know right?

I'm actually wondering also. I made the jump from Mac 3 to SR and I will be going to Vegas at the end of March. I couldn't think of anything better than a SRS before going out on the Strip. But what do most do?

Yea, if it is by plane it is screw it and I take a two bladed disposable head plastic razor. I get them at the dollar store, one handle and five heads made by Personna. That goes with my cheap Omega boar brush and a stick of Arko. No fuss no muss very little weight and if they go missing I am out less than $20.00 total. I still get a decent enough shave too.

Just took a vacation to Florida from PA. Packed up a very nice little box with the tools I thought I would need to shave with. Dropped them in the post 4 days before leaving and they were at my destination when I arrived. Now, mind you, I didn't sent my very best stuff but what I had beat the hell out of a disposable....

Only complaint i have to that is I don't trust mailing to a resort in a different country ha ha even if it is the shit stuff

It really does depend on what sort of travel you're doing - if it's a suit case, cab from the airport kinda winding down affair, or if it's a live out of your back pack, tackle the wilds of Borneo adventure... In saying that, I take one of the little travel eShave kits (TSA approved) away with me and I bought a nice little strop on the 'bay (only about 6" long), I've got a small wet pack to fit this and 2 -3 of my razors in so it's all together and compact. I'm only new to SRS but after taking this kit to work at the floods down here (sleeping on floors in cots in emergency centres, lots of moving about and deploying to new areas etc), I was still able to to fit in a nice shave of a day which made things a lot more bearable - and it took up only a little more space really than a can of goop and a bic!!!
