Before bed comment......I would shave with a DE at a public bathroom,I don't see what the big deal would be ?A straight I would leave for home only because of the equipment one would have to bring and also because I woud be more in a hurry. I assume we're talking about shaving at the sink and not the shower(which still really wouldn't matter) ? For that matter I would brush my teeth at the sink in public too. I had to do all this in the service and nobody went ewwww ,yer shaving in public I'm offended ! No offense but geeze let's grow up, I agree with ocd shaver. People will do all this adrenaline junkie stuff but cringe at the thought of a straight razor ????? WT you know what ,really? We all know that straights were commonplace once and no one thought anything of it,so how did we get so weak chinned about it ? Not us here but the general shaving public of course. Guess I'm just outdated in my logic.....but I'm comfy with that. Now washing ones lower particulars in the sink ? Um.......not okay...in fact kinda wierd. One word...shower.
