I leave a strop and razor here all summer...
My Rv has 3,strops and 4 razors,and 2 of my favorite brushes plus MDC. Out here I get by with Aqua Velva Ice Blue.
Still trying to figure out how that would work in my tent. ;)

Before the invention of DE and SE razors, men shaved with some sort of straight razor, even if it was a sharpened piece of metal or stone. Those who traveled frequently like soldiers and cowboys would carry their razor in their pack and shave whenever they had an opportunity. Of course, cowboys would take advantage of visits to the local barbershop upon arrival in town to get a proper haircut and shave and a bath at the local B&B. Shaving might be done with a small bowl of water, a small mirror, a crude brush and a bar of lye soap, and the razor. The razor strop might have been a belt, a leather harness, etc.
We have it quite easy today compared to our ancestors.
Beards were also quite popular before the invention of the safety razor.
Could you show some examples?Quote:

No mirror in there? I think id wait until your in the truck stop. Or hang a mirror on the outside of the toolbox door and shave standing outside. Hey, that would be cool to shave standing outside. Huh. I may have to give tbis a try sometime.
I can see it now. A clip-on mirror and shelf that hangs on the front grill. Standing in front of the truck shirtless, shaving. Bet that would get some funny looks at the truck stop. :rofl2:
I already get double takes in the locker room in our distribution centers. I overnight in Walmart parking lots. Suction cup mirror on the outside of the driver's door, aluminum tin of water on fuel tank step, hmmm...
Bob this is should work:Quote:

Except for the "shirt off" part, I know I'm going to be doing this at some point in the near future, weather permitting.
Shaving standing outside of the truck, not camping at a renaissance fair.
You’ll really get the looks if you use the headlights to illuminate the shave.Quote:

Strop? Just use the air hoses.
Got me a concave mirror with suction cups on the back.
I'll be shaving in the parking lot soon....
