Anyone ever try to put together a light-weight shaving kit for use while backpacking? Weight and space are huge factors (plus no mirror), so I usually just grow a haggard backwoods beard. This obviously doesn't help when hitchhiking.

Any thoughts?

A bar of soap and a Gillette Mach 3 always work for me. Doesn't really take that much space and they are both lightweight.

There are some good $10 shavers on ebay.

According to Grizzly Adams, if you just let it get long enough, you can become a bear trainer.
