    You might as well just dry shave...blade shaving requires soft whiskers and warm skin, like just getting out of the shower, right ? And sorry people, I can't imagine blade/shaving creme in the sink in the men's restroom as well as brushing my teeth there.

    Maybe use [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Roadpro-RPSC-784-12-Volt-Coffee-Carafe/dp/B00446YIYK"]THIS[/ame] to make the hot water?

    I'm expecting a shower every 2-3 days, worst case while OTR. I MUST shave daily. I look to be 30 when clean shaven, but 60 (a distinguished 60, I may add) with my white stubble :|

    Lots of good ideas here.

    My husband has a Norelco PT series electric razor (manual is for the PT20, PT25 and PT30 so do NOT ask me which one he actually has, imagine the latest version otherwise the manual would not state it was for all 3 versions, huh?!)

    I use to shave with a cutthroat razor, now I can't be bothered, make sure it's neat.

    Have a microwave?

    I dont do this often becouse well, just do it when you shower. But there have been ocations when a shower is not avail.

    I keep a small coffee mug in the truck. I only use it to heat water. For stuff like soups/noodles/oatmeal/shaving.

    But for shaving what I do is put abou 1-2 cups of water in the mug in the microwave for about 2minutes. this gets it nice and hot. I then poor it into a disposable cup. I then spread the hot water on my face to initialy soften the hair. Finaly I use a super moistening gel shaving creme. shaving rising the razer in the disposable cup.

    Also I dont use the cheap razors, to me they hurt to much and do a poor job. mach3 all the way.
