Surely if you are touring properly you pop into a local barber's and get a shave and a hair cut rather than taking things with you - what next hair wax?
I had this hyphothesis when I did several months across Europe. Pop in a barber every couple of weeks and get a shave that way. The problem is this: shaving is something quite intimate (imo), I'm a middle aged man, and it was always some young strip of a lass that ended up doing it, often for the first time. It all felt a bit wierd and uncomforable. Maybe I'm just useless at finding proper old fashioine barbers. Not sure that'd quite push me over the edge to take a beard trimmer, but it'd be a discussion I'd be having with myself.
