Shave of the Day - Akro Commando at Scout Camp

It is a wonderful morning at Scout Camp. I was up early to get a shower and came back to camp for a shave. Shaving in a somewhat primitive situation requires innovation. The strop was hung on the wash basin with a rope tide with the traditional square knot. The mirror was hooked over a hose bib. The Dovo made its appearance and was quickly stropped. Out came the Akro Commando shave dream on a green handled Omega shave brush.

As I applied a couple of dabs of the commando shave cream to my face and began to work it into a lather, I noticed the quickness that it worked. The water here is much softer than I have been accustomed to. The soft water was a blessing as I was shaving with cold water.

With a good lather on the face I began the process of shaving. The Dovo made quick work. The dry mountain air seemed to dry out the lather on my face quickly. A few quick strokes with the shaving brush and I was back at work. I finished my shave off with a liberal application of Akro Commando after shave cream. Overall, it was a great shave.
