Thread: vacation shave den overkill?

So we're on vacation for the long weekend. Three nights. 2 straights, a 53 superspeed, rolls razor, a g-bar(not shown), 3 cream samples, 1 soap, a couple of pre-shave treatments, witch hazel, lucky tiger facial splash/toner, alcohol, alum block, 3 samples of gft skin food, nivea ASB, lucky tiger moisturizer, EJ travel brush and my apothecary mug. What can I say? I like to have choices. Variety is the spice of life and all that.

I know i could get by with 1 soap, 1 razor, etc. I'm sure I will pare this down in time, but this got me wondering what is in everyone's travel kit? Pictures would be great.

I guess it really depends on who I'm spending the weekend with,,,if it's Salma Hayek , then I don't bring anything,,won't have the time to shave.

If it's my ex-wife,,,then I bring everything I have,,,

I would bring, a shave stick, my favorite badger brush, straight, Barber hone, DE (for head shaves) , strop, Bay Rum.

OR

Shave stick, Shave brush, DE, Bay Rum

OR

Shave stick, shave brush, Feather SS, Bay Rum

see it's simple..........I'm not indecisive

1 soap
1 brush
2 straights
1 aftershave

I fear carrying more than my wife

Wife went to sleep about 8:30. Tv is lousy. Should have brought a book. I always bring a book. Didn't bring a book. I thought I was crazy bringing this stuff. Now I wish I had brought my stones and a couple of razors to hone. Or Salma Hayek. Lol.

Is there a lounge in that hotel????

I work a three weeks shift in a remote location. I am aways traveling. I pack differently for different locations and purposes. I bring a lot more stuff when I come to work than if I am traveling for a long weekend with the wife. I have a matched pair of Friodurs that I like to take. A brush soap and an aftershave. Oh and a styptic pencil is important.

usually, one soap, one brush, either one DE or two straights (depends on the trip) and an aftershave balm (sometimes it's to hard to travel with the splashes). If I'm bringing straights I'll bring a barber hone as well

My traveling "Stropping Station".

I work 6 week hitches so my travel kit for work is 5 razors , 2 brushes and several soaps AS, and balms , I'm stuck out there so it's needed to get by oh and a DE and several blades, I may have to go for a feather artist to cut down on razors, oh and my paddle strop with a few different mediums, alum block , witch Hazel, any way , if me and the wife going somewhere, very basic then , but that's only a few days, 2 razors one soap and AS and balm, paddle strop.
