I found a very cool toiletry bag and wanted to share

I just think this looks GREAT! http://www.hammacher.com/publish/727...toiletry%20kit Hammacher Schlemmer is a great company, I needed a new toiletry bag, and I am going to order this one. It is just laid out so well, I thought I would share with some of you other road warriors!

That bag looks great, but may be too large for my needs. Please let us know what you think of it after you have a chance to take it for a test drive.

But like emerson said, a bit big for me. Although, if I keep accumulating all these straight shaving goodies, I'm going to need a bag like that!

BTW, it looks like a Mach3 in the first visible compartment from the bottom.

Here's another option in that same style. I'm ordering my son the medium size for college.

That's a nice one. It appears to be large but I went and measured mine and it's only an inch or two larger.

My current bag: 6 H x 11 W x 5 D
Hammacher bag: 8 H x 12 W x 5 D

JL, please let us know how it works out. I suppose if you always check your baggage, then you can usually have a larger suitcase. I always carry-on my luggage and since my space is already limited, then this bag might be a bit too large. But for the price, it might be worth getting anyway.

I was looking at this one as well, have not decieded yet. but i went away this weekend and realized i do need somthing better than my old one thats a mess.

I saw one like the Hammacher bag at the Samsonite Outlet the other day. It seems nice, but the shape strikes me as taking too much space in a bag, even compared to the regular rectangular shaped bag.

I have an LL Bean toilentries bag that I think is great, and it fits all my straight razor and grooming stuff, even a bottle of skin good. And, since it hangs from a hook, I put the ring of my strop over the hook and hang them in the same place.

I had two regular bags that worked fine but finally bought a real Dopp bag this time. The new leather is really nice pebble grain black or brown but honestly I would have reather had the old hard tan they made for years.

Nostalgia I guess.

Tony,

I like the old leather brown bags they used to make as well. My uncle has had the same one for at least 25 years, but I never saw any that had much organizational options. now with my DE and straight, and all the other stuff I take on the road, I need some form of organization not just one big compartment.

This one is spendy, but a fella over at SMF has one and says it's really all-out old world construction. Last a couple generations easy..

I have a Geo F. Trumper wetpack and while I like it, it doesn't hold a lot. Great for str8's and such, but I usually carry another DOPP style as well to hold the big bottles and whatnot.

I understand these are awesome for hang-ups...the Safari Washbag..

Too many toys, too little cash :(

Tony, JL,

There's nothing like a brand new leather bag that looks 100 yrs. old. They have pre-washed jeans, why not well worn leather?

RT

Old Leather is actually hard, if it's anything like the old leather of my Bosca briefcase.

It will last forever, though. And when it gets all scratched and dented, it takes on a nice aged patina.

RT,

Its the lack of orginazational options in the older bags, they are generally a one or two compartment sack and thnigs just get to mixed up and smooshed together for my liking.

If I buy those bags I won't be able to afford to put anything in it. :D :D

same here! to much of a mess or else you have to take everything out and put it on the counter. I have definetly come to the conclusion that I want a hang upbag with compartments so I can leave it all in there and use as needed, then wrap it up and I am off. This is the one for me ,so far, in napa leather:
