How much do you want to carry?
Mick....I guess it just depends on how much weight you
are willing/able to carry on your back, and how long you
are going to be "out" and what you want to do while
you're out there.
A weekend hike is one thing, but a 2-3 week trek is quite
another....That's back-packing.
If I don't actually have to carry it on my back, then I'm
perfectly happy to pack whatever I want....but if the
weight of my pack is a consideration, then I'm perfectly
willing to forego all the shave gear!
You've been in the infantry...you know how much the
weight of your pack matters, right?
Frankly, at my age now, "roughing it" means having to
stay in a motel without a bar!"If you come up to it, and you just can't do it, then that's jolly well where you are."

Survival razor
I drifted off topic...sorry.
I really would be interested in finding a razor that would
survive extreme conditions of heat/humidity, with minimal
maintenance.
Living on the beach, on the windward side of a tropical
island is murder on anything made out of metal, or
anything electronic...like a computer.
Air conditioning here is not an option."If you come up to it, and you just can't do it, then that's jolly well where you are."

For camping I look at a stainless straight.

I'm setting my Bicycle up for touring, getting all my gear set up and all. I'm hopeing to find a stainless blade to add to my kit but have issues with stainless blades... it's a problem I know...
So far I've got my heavy W&B tasked for the trip as it hines up good and shaves well Nice and durrable edge

Thanked: 40Well I'd take my Joseph & Rodgers 4/5' near wedge, I recon that'd take a bit more of a beating. The roo strop I got from MickR for the same reasons he uses, probably won't crack from being rolled up. And the travel shaving soap I picked up from the chemist a couple days ago, just tried it and it works ok dries a little too quick for my liking but works and comes with 30 'leaves'.
I figure you could just take a decent enamelled cup that you could use for drinking and shaving and if you were going for a bit maybe paste the back of the strop but thats just my 2cents worth.
Oh just incase I thought I'd let you know what the soap looked like 45mm x 20mm x 70mm
