Pay an escort to come to your room on every layover to shave you. I’m sure many of them have had weirder requests. You can have them bring your favorite shaving apparatus too!

I use one of these to trim after I haven't shaved for a few days, but on the road it'll start your day with a 5-oclock shadow. That's ok for some, doesn't look good on me. I LOVE the oneblade shavers, but the very short stubble they leave just doesn't look right on my face. That said, if I'm in a rush I'll use the oneblade and go. Haven't gotten any comments one way or another so it's probably good enough. Best part of the oneblade razors is that they're FAST, and they don't cut up your face at all. The primary drawback to the oneblade design is that the blades don't seem to last super long. Even when old they won't cut up your face but they start to cut much slower and don't glide as easily and will eventually start grabbing hair instead of cutting it. It's relatively inexpensive so this isn't a big problem.

I use the phillips oneblade at home and they're small so I have one in my travel kit. For my "on the job" shave I use a braun cordless electric. I prefer the ones that have the single larger-diameter foil rather than multiple smaller foils, but everyone has their own preference. Braun has a single foil shaver that is MUCH less expensive than their top end premium multiple foil shavers and after using them for 28 years I've found the $50 braun shavers work just as well as the $200 ones.

Does this only apply to shaving?

Just shave before you shower or dress, and keep a sponge or something to wipe down the countertop and sink. On the road, I rinse the sink but don't worry about every last little hair since hotel housekeeping has the supplies to thoroughly clean the sink/countertop very quickly so it's not like it's leaving housekeeping an exceptionally rude mess to deal with.

Bevel silver cordless edge trimmer. Great on the road, especially if you have sensitive skin. About as close as you can get without using an “electric shaver”.

Something is seriously wrong here. A thread that’s four pages in and still on topic.

I once shaved with a straight razor while driving a manual. Mazda Miata…..of course. Yes. It’s a sports car.

Yeah I know, I am one of them and if you read what I posted I explained that while this is electric it doesn’t function like one because the cutting blades never touch your skin.

If I use a normal electric razor I break out in a rash and look/feel horrible however with the one blade that issue is non-existent.
