Thread: Bug Out Shaving Set Up

So, I've been wet shaving for a long time, and shaving with a straight for six / eight weeks now. I'm thinking about setting up my bug out bag with a straight razor kit.

This is as far as my thinking has taken me so far:

• The razor should be stainless?
• The razor should be a wedge, so it is less likely to chip.
• The Strop should be small, perhaps one of Tony's manmade material ones.
• Shaving stick, GOOD!

All thoughts, suggestions or contradictions are welcome.

Excellent idea! Some kind of AS is the only thing I'd add....

What means "bug out bag"?

A bug-out bag is a small bag full of bare essentials that you keep by the door in case you have to "bug out," say, because of a natural disaster, or because your job calls you away on 10 minutes notice.

Cool idea, I don't know if you have to limit yourself to a wedge. That's a lot of honing once you get past that edge. How about a half hollow?

Firearms for the purpose. That will go over well here.

Thats almost exactly the contents of my deployment kit. I do carry two straights though. Never know if you'll have time to be exacting or even have to shave commando...

a small bottle of your favorite a/s or balm.

Do stainless wedges even exist?

I'm not an expert, but I've never seen one.

Excellent comments.

Two razors, very good idea. Maybe I'll even splurge on a matched set.
Half hollows also a very good idea.

And a small bottle of AS. I don't generally suffer from much razor burn, so maybe an Alum block will work for the same purpose here. As well as work as a deodorant.

Thank You Gentlemen.

A Wapi, with its stainless steel scales might be a good choice too.

I use the steel case they give you with a high end Dovo, those are great. A rubber band or ladies hair tie works great for keeping the razor closed. A strop should be mounted on a hard surface, like wood. A barber hone would be nice for extended work.

I use my set up for travel and don't bother with soap. I just use whats in the hotel room. Don't need a brush either. But for a bug out bag I'd take both.

The few times that I have bugged-out I've always wished I'd taken more stuff. Suddenly you actually have time to play with all the cool toys.

Natuallly, I would avoid creams with glass containers.
