"Patience young grasshopper".
I like to shave outside when the weather is nice.
My deck has no running water. I either sit at the table with all of my kit on a bamboo cutting board...

Or I hang a travel mirror on the arbor and have at it while standing...

Since I started Cold Water Shaves, it has gotten easier since there is no hurry to finish before the water cools.
DE or straight.. makes no difference. But straights are actually a bit easier because I wipe the lather on a wet wash cloth instead of rinsing in the water, so the water stays clean.
The only change I make is lather needs to be a bit wetter.. the breeze dries it rather quickly.
No matter when or where, it absolutely takes on a meditative flavor.
