If this is mistaken, it would be interesting to actually read the regulation that governs this. The sterilization process required further inhibits the use of straight razors (and probably makes the use of a shaving brush nearly impossible) But, I’m hearing there are few areas, if any, that actually specifically prohibit the use of these items.

It is also possible there are regulations above and beyond the state regulations in certain localities. Now it is very possible I missed something.

I just realized all this talk brought up a good question to ask.
