    Bongo, what delightful and stimulating photos. I shaved this morning and am already tempted to have another shave. Good stuff. Thanks, Bongo.

    Hopefully they carried a hone! One drop of the razor with armed soldiers awaiting a shave could get pretty hairy pretty fast!

    A nice clean, close shave is a great way to de-stress. That's probably a motive behind shaving in battle.

    I've been in a class that cranks up at 6 AM the past couple of weeks and haven't had the luxury of indulging in my usual shave routine, but was off today and really felt great after my morning shave.

    Straight razor shaver and loving it!
