Shaving water brought up by a scout! My FATHER had that at Cambridge. I stil have his little brass shaving kettle - though that rather argues the water was NOT brought up, doesn't it? Nope, at Merton we had washbasins but you did have to cross the quad for a bath or a pee. My room prevously belonged to Alan Brownjohn the poet, and previous to that by T.S. Eliot. Not that I knew at the time.
Or maybe it was Louis MacNeice.
