Thread: Your "Desert Island" razor ?

Then I hope that good looking girl looks somewhat fresh after such an adventure on a homemade raft

My new question is do we have a mirror on this island.

Based on the island being tropical.

You could use a tidal pool of water for your mirror. Although shaving in a horizontal position may be a trick

I read shark skin makes a good strop and for paste you could mix up some ground coral and coconut milk.

For a razor I would at a minimum want a shiny 8/8 so it could double as a signal mirror.

Do you think that a barbers notch would be useful in trimming out the hole on a coconut???

My Filarmonica #14 shorty... though if it got lost, I would be way way bummed.

I would bring the razor on the right in this picture, a Greaves near wedge. Great shaver but in homemade scales that are not my best effort and overall just an ordinary razor.
