So there I was last week camping in the woods by invitation of Uncle Sam, I wasn't able to bring my normal shaving soap/brush with me. I did however bring my favorite razor, my '40s SS loaded with a derby blade. I brought a can of Goo (Edge) instead.
Now i don't mine shaving on the hood of a truck or even in the rain. but that damn goo. It really doesn't like to used in cold water and doesn't rinse off your face with out a struggle. Try cleaning a razor in a canteen cup with that GOO floating around in it.
Got 3 shaves out of that poor blade.
I am glad I found how the simplicity of a DE razor and a puck of soap can make my life, even in the woods, a bit more pleasurable. now i just need to find a good cheap brush and sturdy bowl. (and too convince my wife i need more shaving stuff.)
