Well, it should be in the mail next week. Seemed like the right thing for me...I love draft horses, saddle horses, flintlock rifles and wooden sailboats, writing in cursive, and good edges on knives and axes. Probably should have lived in another time, but here we are... I'm a once a week or so shaver at best, so I'm hoping the sr will be ok with a bit of beard.

I could sure use some tips on managing this without running water though. Maybe there are some re-enactors on the forums? Or someone else living in a tent with a hand pump at the well? I'm wondering how I'll rinse beard off the blade. With a safety razor I've just been swishing it around in a wash basin, but there's no way I'm going to risk that with a nice edge. I will have a scuttle to lather. I'm thinking I might just fill a thermos and pour out of it to rinse the blade..just wondered what was done back in the day? Thanks guys...
