Interesting. My brief sojourn as a representative of Her Majesty's Government also taught me to shave from a bowl of water, simply because running water was an inefficient use of resources. It did require agitating the razor quite abruptly to clean it, and shaving was a little more jarring than when using warm water, but it worked.
And the bowl could be tipped-out after shaving to be filled with tasty porridge for brekkies. :)
P&G should promote this design to various militaries around the World. The use-case seems to match perfectly ( right down to the lack of a proper mirror ).
Wouldn't it be worth putting a brush (or felt) at the bottom of the bowl, so you could brush the razor in the direction of the blades (the opposite way of shaving) to clean it much faster? That way, the fabric pushes the hairs out, instead of having to rely on the force of the water from the agitation.
