Thread: The camping kit

I was camping this weekend down in Pescadero. Just because you're camping doesn't mean you can't get a BBS shave! I took my stainless Flaschner with me, some alum bloc, Cella soap, and trusty silvertip brush. I used a cardboard mail tube to store my brush, it's very durable and waterproof. A stainless razor is pretty useful on a camping trip as you don't have to worry about getting it spotless clean. I was lucky enough to have hot water! Since I didn't have a mug handy, I just face lathered which work out fine. I did sharpen and strop my Flaschner before leaving so that I could easily get 2-3 shaves out of it without a strop. My Kangaroo travel strop should be here this week from Australia!!

I picked up an AWESOME soap bowl at a local art fair, I just filled it with Tabac. Pics to follow!

I just have a cheap brush, rough old Gotta, 'roo strop, tube of shave cream and an enamel wash basin for that sort of thing. I think I had a post on SoTD of my out bush kit. I'll see if I can find the photo for reference.


Here we are, more of a view of the scenery though, sorry about that. Just say the word and I will delete it from your thread...

I had a small mirror in my tent. Didn't take a picture of it however!

That funny little silver thing on the low stool in my pic...Although on that day I was ready to toss it down the paddock, I ended up just shaving by feel and checking for missed spots afterwards. There weren't any.

Oppps. for some reason I had mistaken that for a note pad ....
A couple of really beautiful spots there,

That's easy enough to do, now that you mentioned it. But that's my little leather bound mirror, that was being battered too much by the breeze that day. I didn't have a handy nail sticking out anywhere to hang it. Just some bailing twine.
