Thread: how to travel?

I take a lot of business trips. Can anyone recommend a top of the line travel brush? Also, is there a way to travel without taking my wooden soap bowl? Any alternatives?

classicshaving.com has travel brushes. emsplace.com has travel brushes as well as tube containers for brushes. http://www.emsplace.com/shaving/trav...ing_items.aspx
I got a 4-pack of ZipLock XS size plastic containers for my soaps from Walmart. You can just place your puck inside, or I like to grate mine and press them in to form-fit the containter. Rubbermaid and Glad also make small containers from one cup to 2 cup sizes. You definately want something that won't, break, shatter, crack or chip when traveling.
Hope this helps.

A large pill bottle with a couple holes poked in for any brush and a shave stick should work.

prhomme,

Check the Classic Shaving site for a Vulfix traveller with a screw top, there are 3 there, but the ivory plastic is the one I have, like, and use.

I wandered ointo this screw top soap traveller on Jim Ayars' Vintage Blades site and am enormously impressed with the quality of lather this little puck of soap makes. It is also the one I take with me when out and about.

I like the screw topped containers because of their inherent security and in the case of the brush unit, the container's ability to prevent other things from getting jammed into it.

good shaving,

When I traveled last, I put the razor in a toothpaste holder tube, the brush I own is a travel brush, my Dr. Harris soap in a wood bowl with a big rubber band around it, and I packed the strop on the side of the suitcase. I didn't mind the extra space these things took since I had to pack the razor in the non-carryon anyhow.

For the razors I use Dovo 7 razor case and TI 7 Razor roll. For brushes IMO Simpson and Rooney make the 2 nicest travel brushes there are
