I found that shaving with a straight is a little difficult at the gym because: a) there is a lot of commotion in the change room. b) somehow, a different environment leads to a way different experience c) I'm a little pressed for time d) time is sometimes wasted by having to explain my straights; not necessarily a bad thing. I usually do 3 passes at home, but feel 2 is good enough at the gym. Space is at a premium in the change room, as are faucets. I shave in a mirror on the wall, which works well for me as I like being close up to see what I'm doing. I have a 'travel kit' with all the needed things for a great shave. I absolutely hate bringing bulky, full containers of product along with me so I resort to re-packing product into smaller, functional containers. I have 'trial size' containers for my creams, which i refill every week, and pipettes to hold my aftershave balm. I bought the Simpsons Wee Scot and it delivers. I tried face lathering, but it does not work for me. Instead, i use 'sweetheart cups' which are disposable sample cups that hold about 3-1/4 oz that are a perfect substitute for a shave mug. I usually bring my Joseph Allan or Genco straights as they are really reliable. I also bring an alum block (still looking for a miniature replacement), and Proaso Styptic gel. Overall the process is a big pain, but the more I do it the more natural it seems. Do any members have tips on wet shaving at the gym ...any experiences you'd like to share ....or have I just taken the love of shaving a little too far?
