On vacation without a razor. Suggestions?

[GBerry]

If you find yourself in this situation again run to the store and get a package of single blade disposable razors and just use regular bar soap, you can lather it with your hands you don't need a brush. That will get you through the vacation, then keep the disposables for travel I usually pack 1 for every week I will be gone and then add an 1 extra on top of those. Next time though pack a brush, shaving cream or soap, and a disposable razor.

I need one of these single edge disposables per shave. I have tried to get 2 shaves per razor but it is a no go for my beard. Too much irritation. LOL.

I sometimes wonder if it is worth it to get a 5-pack of Gillette Guards from overseas/eBay as an emergency backup travel razor . . .

Nice find! That's a great option that passes TSA while my gillette travel tech works for the other times for me.

I'd like to tie these posts together as I have a travel tips post started in the DE section.

From what I've read here, some Walmart stores are selling the Micro-Touch (or whatever it's called) Chinese TTO razor. Supposedly the razor stand that comes with it is worth the price of admission.

check antique stores in the area? The wife may love it, and you may find a lost treasure at a very reasonable price.

What everyone else has said about disposables. Plus, this is a learning opportunity about the importance of a travel kit. Or grow your beard out.

Not knowing where you are at I can't make any specific recomendations, but going to disposables and goo for a week won't kill you.
If you can find a brush and soap at a drugstore or big box retailer that would be great.
