what would be in your Gentleman's set?
After seeing Voidmasters super nice set which seemed to include everything a man could need, i wondered what would the modern day man need in his set? Now suppose you were going to be gone for a month to a place that didn't have all the modern conveniences of home.(much like i imagine the well traveled gentleman of the 18th and 19th century would have experienced).
Here's some things i would put in my set:
1. razor,brush, soap and strop.
2.flash light
3.phone charger
4.tooth brush and paste
5.scissors
6.some sort of hone for touch ups
this isn't a complete list but i'm sure just a start. What do you think?

since Zak's set included a sort of boot pull multi tool i think it need a Leatherman/Swiss army style tool as well.(for those who don't already carry one.)

Instead of tooth paste I would take tooth powder, preferably either Uncle Harry's or Country Gent. Uncle Harry's comes in a powder dispenser and is (IMO) a superior product.
If you are going anywhere that doesn't have city water, don't forget the antidiarrheic and stool softener.Last edited by howdydave; 01-05-2020 at 06:33 PM.

Thanked: 603Recognizing that a "Gentleman's Set" is intrinsically British, while not wanting to "diss" mainland Europe, I'd like to add an indispensable item: a packet of French letters.
You can have everything, and still not have enough.
I'd give it all up, for just a little more.
