I went traveling for a few days with the wife. I was always curious about what it would be like to straight shave in a hotel. I ended up straight shaving twice. I usually use a DE. I thought it would be extremely difficult. It was not.

I brought my TM travel strop and a slipstone; just in case. I did not need the stone.

I thought that shaving with a straight would be a time issue. It really is not. While my wife is in the bathroom, I can strop. Once the razor is stropped, it is just a matter of shaving carefully and slowly. I shave while my wife continues to get ready, and packs her bags.

One night my wife told me I should shave because we had to get up early, and it would be one less thing to do. A straight shave is great the night before, because it will last late into the next day.

The second time, I was planning on doing a DE shave. But it was in the morning, and all my shave gear was in another bag in the car. Stropping was a pain, because the bathroom door would not close properly. It kept opening while I was stropping. I had to hold one foot against the door. My shaving cream, and brush were also in the car. i had to use soap. It kept drying on me. It was a very thin lather. I went slow. The shave was not particularly close, but I was able to do it.
I still had my face when I was finished. One of my pimples spurted blood for 10 minutes, but other than that it was fine.
