    Default My college set up.

    Well in just a few short weeks I'll be headed off to college, so I thought I'd run my shaving kit by yall to see if you think it will be sufficient. I've got one straight, a 1908 ASCO cutlery from germany, a TOBs badger brush, CO Biglow shave cream, a Ruprazor strop, I'm thinking Trumper's spanish leather aftershave, witch hazel and a skeptic pencil. I have my Great Grandfather Gillette DE (predates serial numbers) but I think I will leave it home for fear of something happening, I know not likely but I don't know what I'd do if it did. So today I orders a Edwin Jagger DE86, do you think this is a good choice for a second DE. I would have rather had another straight but I am NROTC Marine Option and have 6 AM Pt three mandatory times a week and would prefer to have a faster back up then a straight thats not a cartridge. What do you think? Any tips or suggestions.
    No that pistol isn't the only thing under my kilt, but I can tell you both of them work just fine

    Looks like a great set-up. I agree that the Jagger will be a great addition to your arsenal.

    Happy Shaving!

    My main recommendation is to take a second straight as a backup, in case something should happen to the first and you don't want to be forced to use the DE. You also may want to look into something for touchups for the straights; such as paste on a strop surface or a barber hone.

    Good call on leaving the valuable razor at home. When living communally, you have to expect other people's parents weren't as good at raising kids as yours were.

    Looks like a decent set up. If you don't want to go whole hog and do a second straight, maybe a shavette for when the straight is out of commission. Where you heading? Was it you who I saw in another thread that's heading to Liberty? If so, I'm not too far north of ya (maybe two hours, max).

    Thanks guys. I'd like a new razor and will get one if I come up with some extra cash the same goes for a Secound strop I can paste. No bharner I'm headed to university of Missouri in Columbia.

    Well crap. Then I won't offer ya to come up for dinner if you need a break. Good luck with the impending education! And when you've got the cash together you know where to find a good deal on another razor .

    While I'll be a freshman I'm NROTC so I'll be around upperclassmen all the time. Oh and I'm rooming with a junior. :-) The EJ just come in and its BEAUTIFUL, I going to try it right now. For $25 I think it was a steal. I'll keep you posted.
