Earlier this month I took my family to Crater Lake National Park. I hadn't been there since I was a kid and I wanted my kids to have the opportunity to experience the grandeur of the park in their youth This brought about the opportunity for a new challenge. Wet shaving while camping. Normally when camping, I don't bother shaving. This time I wanted to see if I could have an enjoyable shaving experience while "roughing it". I didn't take my straight razor because I was nervous about using the side view mirror on the car and having enough reflective real-estate to get a good shave. My razor of choice ended up being a 1984 Gillette Super Adjustable. A reliable, great shaving vintage razor (yes, 1984 is vintage. I'm old enough to be vintage along with it.) I took a vintage Simms brush that's been restored with a silver tip badger knot, and a Cherry City Shave Products lather bowl. I could have heated water on the fire for my shaves, but chose to experience cold water shaves instead. I enjoy a cold water shave periodically and I think it really lent to the experience. Bottom line, it was a great trip and I had some amazing shaves while enjoying the outdoors. Next time you're planning a camping trip, consider taking a small portion of your shave den with you. I promise it'll be a great shaving experience.
