How is everyone doing? I have been lurking for a while and decided I needed to introduce myself. I have been wet shaving for about 2 months and I love every minute of it. I am deployed to Iraq and find that my day no matter how rough always ends with joy after I hit the showers and shave. But the question I have is this: I like many others have acquired RAD (yes even over here in Iraq). The only thing available in the local PX is bleach, which I have been using to sanitize my ebay purchases. I want to go to the next level though
Is there anything else I can use to bring out the shine? I need to know all the items I need to order so that I can accomplish this. Thanks.

Thanks so much for serving !
My routine is as follows:
Hot water and a toothbrush to the razor head and under belly after every shave.
Soft Scrub w/ Bleach when I change Blades
MAAS polish to the entire razor about 1x a month.

Run over to the infirmary and sweet-talk someone into throwing it in the autoclave for you. That should kill anything on it and will probably clean it up nicely as well.
What do you polish your medals with?

polishing medals is old school...lol...i have been in for 19 years and before there was "sta-brite" brass, there was braso. But none of that stuff is available over here. i was wanting an all inclusive list of everything i will need to order online so i can continue my nightly ritual of cleaning and tidying up my new purchases.
HA-HA-HA! That is pretty funny!
In that case I would look at Flitz and Collinite's No.850 Metal Wax. Both of those are very good. I would say try the Flitz first because it comes in smaller tubes and would be easier to store and transport.
Also, I want to say thank you. I don't know if you guys hear it enough over there, but I appreciate the job you do for this country. My brother served 2 tours with the 1st Armored Division over there and I am certainly proud of all our armed forces.
Especially if you're expected to shave in THAT environment! That's my brother on the left.
