Thread: Traditional Shaving Products for Our Troops

Ladies and gentlemen:

Oldschoolstools, one of our members, brought up an interesting point in another thread. I thought the subject deserved its own thread. Here is a quote from Oldschoolstools:

"I read somewhere that troops are not permitted to bring straight razors in country. Too dangerous! It's OK to walk around with loaded M9's and M4's with bayonets but, not sharp shaving utensils. Could we, should we, suggest a program to get mugs, brushes and safety razors to the troops who would want them?

Sincerely,
oldschooltools"

Ladies and gentlemen, what are your thoughts on this suggestion? I don't know if the soldiers are allowed straight razors. Perhaps someone might know. Also, would there be interest from soldiers for such traditional shaving products under the circumstances, since obviously they are fighting a war.

And may they remain safe and return home.

Regards,

Obie
