while doing a bit of research into the Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife :? i ended up on a site that listed the kit required for WWI (II) soldiers and it was listed into Army Issue and Personal Kit.
this might have been for re-enactment purposes?
when it came to the grooming kit soldiers had most of the stuff was issue, soap etc but the razor was a travel straight and was own purchase
this is what got me interested as the straight looked small, i.e. the length of the spine, looked about the same as a normal DE blade but definately smaller than a standard straight, if there is such a thing?
don't know what you lot think but i'd find that highly appealing as i think it'd be easier to move around your face
i'm not interested in getting a shavette but haven't heard anyone mention this type of thing before
my imagination?
