50 of 74 years a hobo. I used to be clean shaven in warm weather, but grow a beard in the winter. I was shown by a WW2 vet how to dry shave. It is starting at the neck and shaving in a upward manner. However I found by growing a full beard and trimming once a month or so was much easier and for me wearing a shortish beard improved my appearance a little.

Greetings, James. What a wonderful video. I saw the razor and soap in youth, and I had a couple of collapsible back in the 80s. The gentleman you mentioned Sergevining has a great knowledge of antique gear and the outdoors. I can't wait to see another short story video of the hobo life on the road...

I went to the circus yesterday, and talked to the hobo clown. He was very knowledgeable about life as a hobo. I told him how I watch all your videos.

People of that era had a better moral compass and personal pride in looking presentable even if they didn't have much of anything. My own folks had an old used set of clothes for everyday work wear doing chores etc., and a new set for wearing to church, community functions, etc. They washed their clothes and themselves regularly even though water had to be hauled from a creek several hundred yards away from the dwelling buckets full at the time for enough to fill up a big iron washpot in the yard, and enough for a rinse of the same batch of wash. A clothes iron was heated on the stove to iron whatever needed ironing. I learned to use a razor at a younger age, but no longer trust myself to scrape my wire bristle whiskers off my face and throat and head. I still use a mug and brush. I've never rinsed in anything that I would be drinking from. I started using a big clean empty can like a peach/tomato can, and don't worry about trying to get it perfectly cleaned out. I'm thinking I started that while out on a hunting trip or something, and still use the practice daily. Saves fretting about cleaning the sink out as well. At one time way back when, one of my relatives had a doo dad that was like a travel type shaving mug with a tight slip fit lid. I'm thinking it was phenolic plastic type stuff or melamine or the like. It'd be nice to have something like that. I enjoy using a brush too much. If I could still hold a razor steady and not slash myself, I'd prefer that. That's the best shave for the baby butt smoothness. Some of the old drugstores used to have the tube soap back in the days when I was little, along with the television tube tester and mercurohrome and merthiolate 😂

Not only are your Hobo videos interesting & informative, they are also heart-warming! Interestingly, when I entered college in the late 1950s, safety razors almost identical to yours were common on the college campus! The Cocoa Tin has its modern derivatives; and the Ever-Ready razor tin closely resembles the modern Altoids-type tin. Many of today's younger generations have any idea how much modern items are connected to the PAST! Thankfully, you are teaching historical Customs & Values which are no longer in the history books.

Definitely. I click so fast when I see anything about the 'hobo' series

I briefly knew an older patrol officer and he told me stories of shaving with Only cold water and maybe soap if they could get it, while he was stationed on an island in the Pacific. At first I thought he was just telling Sea stories but when I tried it, I learned the trick was just soaking your face for as long as you could in the cold water and using the sharpest razor you can get. It actually works fine with brand new Bic razors and cold water without any soap. It might feel a little strange or slightly painful at first but then your face gets used to it. The best part is after that learning experience, whenever you have even a little bit of any soap, shampoo or the luxury of real shaving cream then it feels like slipperiest shave.

I must be weird. I find I'm perfectly satisfied just using my razor on my dry bare skin and find it iritates me so little afterwards I prefer it over messing with shaving cream and stuff as I just find that messy.

I'm away from home for nearly four months and I brought a shaving stick (Lea) despite owning well over 40 different artisan shave soaps. It works great, especially if you don't shave every day. The soap sticks nicely to a couple of days of stubble and gives a very nice shave. The smell is fine although I prefer the Tabac or Palmolive stick as far as smell goes. That, a nice small razor and a synthetic brush goes a very long way. Also, that style is very dapper, more well dressed than most people these days.

The one thing I would add is a styptic pencil, its is a stick of 'Alum Sulphate', if you nick yourself, you wet it and apply it to the cut and it helps seal it up. It is anti microbial as well. You can also get it in bars which also make effective stick de-oderant. Sometimes you see it even now as "rock salt de-oderant sticks". You see old cartoons where someone eats a box of alum and they dry right up like all the moisture is sucked out of them. It's the same stuff.

This video is wonderful, especially for me as a writer and a history buff. I have seen so much post-apocalyptic literature where everyone goes around dirty and unkempt and if you are in a nuclear desert ala Mad Max, then that makes sense, but a lack of technology does not have to mean lack of hygiene. Hobos and even earlier pioneers managed to stay clean without access to the modern tools we have so it would stand to reason people going through a similar situation could too. I recommend these videos for anyone hoping to do anything in the post-apoc genre as they are a wellspring of useful information.

This is a great video. My father was born in 1912. He had straight razors and a strop that he whipped me with. After I left home they got rid of the strop. I have the razors. I am still angry about them getting rid of that strop. I feel I earned it. He told me when he was a young man he worked in a lumber mill and shaved with a strait razor without a mirror. He taught me to shave with a straight razor. I thought it would be dangerous to shave without a mirror because I was afraid of cutting my ears. When I was a kid I had a Boy Scout canteen that looked very much like the canteen you used in the video. It had a cloth container to carry it that had a shoulder strap.
