Default Traveling screw up...can anyone help?

The family have left the comfy confines of Houston Texas, and we are spending the week in Destin Florida. Like a good boy i packed every thing for shaving, and I had the great intentions of putting the strop in the bag to complete my kit.....i know its lounging on my bed at home.......

Anyway, here i sit contemplating grabbing the M3 and going to town on the face....

Yep, lots of emotions there. Anyway, is there anyone in the Destin area that might have a loner that I could mail back when I get home next week? If not, ill just tell my face that it has been very, very bad lately, and this is what it gets for it....

Andy

If you have a wide, flat leather belt, that will work in a pinch.

Good luck,

Mark

Thanks Mark. I thought of that too, but did i mention im in Destin?

Think fruty drinks, shorts, and flip-flops.

I think belts and dressy clothes are outlawed in the city limits.

You can also strop on the meaty part of your palm or on a newspaper. In fact, if there's a page with a lot of black ink, the ink is slightly abrasive and will also polish the razor.

If you find that you nick your strop frequently, you might want to pick up a newspaper and forget about the arm
