I used to take an electric into the field with me, but
it was killing me.  Finally I start bringing a camp stove
to heat up some water and just using a razor.  Much better.
Every morning in Afghanistan, I shaved in a canteen cup
using a broken mirror from a HMMWV; it was ok.  Until I
was pouring out the water into the head (read: port-a-potty)
and forgot that my safety razor was still in it....  Whoops.
"Sir, you could go in there and get it...."  I ordered a
new one from the states and it came a week later.
