Currently, I’m in the field training for forward technology solutions. But, one needs to take time out for the finer things in life, like a good shave. A while back, I was turned on to ClassicShaving.com, by Brandon Harper’s review blog. Since, they have been my go to source for most things shaving. For Christmas, my mother hooked me up with a wonderful travel shaving bowl, which affords me the opportunity for a great shave, with quality soap, at a great price, with low Eco impact, and a terrific feel. Below, is a picture of my refined field shaving.
Thanks to my lovely wife for ordering some wonderful soaps, which arrived “next day”, despite ground status, from ClassicShaving.com. Maira is a week away from popping and being in the field sucks. I wish I could be home to support her, instead. Anyhow, it’s time fir bed after a very long night.
UPDATE: Normally, I’d reply in my comments section of a post; however, this calls for a post update to highlight some incredible insight by Mantic59. For any ‘old-school’ shavers out there, or anyone considering a switch, his blog is a fantastic guide on the subject. Please, check out http://mantic59.blogspot.com/.

Wow, a brush and everything for the field kit. I’m impressed! I’d probably go with a brushless cream if I was “camping.” I do take a small synthetic shaving brush with me when I travel: but to me “roughing it” means staying at a motel that doesn’t have room service.

Mantic59, thanks for posting and thanks for providing a link to your videos. I now realize how VERY wrong I’ve been about my shaving. I’ve been shorting myself on the experience for a LONG time. I look forward to continued learning through your site/videos. Thanks!!!

My boyfriend got really into Wet Shaving about 6 months ago and ordered some products from http://www.classicshavingformen.com and also saw some of mantic59’s videos, he went ON and ON about them!!
Must say I appreciate the smoothness of his face!
