    Default Kandahar Afghanistan anyone?

    Sometimes I feel like the only guy without a can of gel, a mach 3 or electric shaver and axe deoderant at the sink counter.

    Hello by the way....long time luker, first time poster.....

    Oh..and as a side note, I deployed with my Merkur razor, blades and Omega Brush by my side. No cart's for this guy since I switched a few months ago. :)

    hahahah thats hilarious.

    With all the different conuntries here I was hoping to find some DE blades in one of the BX's (base exchange for you non-mil types...basically a mini store with all you need) but no luck.

    I did see a banged up old straight at a bazaar in Kyrgyzstan that i almost picked up. The scales werent too bad but the blade was in rough shape. Im sure someone could have gotten some life out of it but it was a little warped, mis shaped and roughed up.

    Not in Kandahar, but I'm down in Leatherneck/Bastion, hoping to get started DE shaving soon.

    No, kidding. I'm in Balad, Iraq, and you should see the looks I get at the sink with my shaving gear. I really wish I was a colonel or something so I could have a shower in my room.

    Default Hey AD guys!

    To you Gentlemen at the Front, thank you for your service. Almost-30-year man here (including reserve time) so I appreciate the sacrifices you all are going through. I had 10 years of deployments

    If there is ANYTHING we can get you, I don't think there should be issues with dropping a Unit address in the forum (Mods?). Feel free to PM me if there are issues. By "anything" I don't just mean shaving gear, I mean general toiletries, periodicals, tools, gedunk, whatever.

    Anything you are short on - give us a shout. Somebody on these boards ought to be able to "hook you up".

    I'll second that. I've got some some shaving stuff I'd be happy to send, and tons of magazines--New Yorkers, Nat Geos, Discover...
