Cheap shaving kit for air travel
As much as I like my DEs and straights for shaving, they can be a pain to travel with by air. I already knew that I was going to use an Arko shave stick and a brush I had bought a Wally World years ago. The question was what disposable razor would do. Turns out one of the Dollar type stores sells a disposable complete with 5 double bladed replacement heads for, you guessed it, one buck. The brand is Precision made in Israel. Could they be Personna blades? Did a 3 pass shave with that kit this morning and it passed muster. So now for a kit well under $10.00 dollars I don't care if it is lost or stolen and is no hassle in a carry on.
The surprise was that the disposable gave me 90% of what I can get from my Fat Bay or straights shave wise. The cheap disposable gave a close burn and irritation free shave. Not as huge a difference as some would have you believe. OTH getting that extra 10% puts shaving into a whole other and much more pleasant experience. For daily shaving I'll go the extra mile but for traveling I'll take that hit.
