So my last couple of business trips, I have needed something shave related. The first one, I cross threaded and stripped the pot metal head of the only DE razor I brought with me. The last one, I forgot shaving soap or cream, and bought a can of barbasol. That was one of the worst shaves I have had in years. It was suggested that I put together a shave kit, so I don’t forget things again. Since my suits don’t fit in a carry-on bag, I had plenty of room, but got it all into a small zippered case, except the soap and the strop.
