Hello all. I do a lot of traveling back and forth to and from my girlfriends house and mine. My bathroom is hooked right up for a straight shave. Scuttle, brush stand, all my gear, oil etc.. The bathroom at her house is not. Anyways the back story is. It was Christmas time and I was very busy and I ended up not being able to shave for 5 days. 5 days of pure itchy bearded agony. 5 days of being out of town and not wanting to use a disposable cartridge razor. I gave up using them 6 or 7 months ago and I wasn't planning on going back. I wished I had a shavette so I didn't have to bring my strop and other things that would weigh a dopp bag down. Anyways today after 5 days of scratching non-stop I had a beautiful hot lather straight shave. I love shaving with a straight. It has become a great healthy passion for me after I quit smoking. For travel purposes I just bought and haven't received yet a MD Dragon travel razor off of amazon.ca. I already have razor blades as my brother tried a DE a while back and then gave it up so finders keepers for me I guess. I am not turning my back on the straight razor as I just bought my third hone... (think its getting out of hand) I just want to know if it's normal to have a shavette type razor for traveling as maybe I'll find out it will make life on the road easier? Then I can save those beautiful straight shaves for when I'm at my house, in the shave cave. How many of you use a shavette type razor for travel?
