Thread: Out to Sea: Salt Water and Straight Razors

you might also want to consider using a shavette. you wont have to worry about the blade being damaged because you can just slap a new blade in.

if you want to use a normal straight i think it would be a good idea to bring some large bottles of fresh water to clean the blade and to use for lather and just wash you face with sea water, it will do good for any nick or cuts you get while shaving.

Oil is a must after every shave. I use an applicator like this one.



It has a top. I use a mixture of Ballistol and Camellia oil making sure that I get the pin once in a while.
