He will rinse the razor in a puddle of water and "Orange"....

I sense that was not a fun experience for that soldier.

Looks like a Tech maybe.
Nah, "Orange" really wasnt used for another decade.

Imagine having to use his shave goods, cold water, dull blade and probably a crappy hand or body soap rubbed onto the face.

Is there any information? Was this a family member or just a random war pic?

Thanks for sharing.

You're welcome everyone. No, I just was reading some websites about the Korean War and came across this pic. The second I saw it I knew the gents here on B&B would appreciate it.

Combat Shaving was not and I sure still not fun! Thanks for the trip down memory lane !
Enjoy Your Shave!

If this man can shave during war without a sink, nobody who has access to one should have no excuse not to shave.

Whats cool is if you look at the mirror the kid is holding, you can see the reflection of the other kid's face with the bandage on his head. And you can see him and the other kid looking to the left are eyeing something thats out of the picture. Probably the soldier's gear or something.
