Toiletry Kits

Just thought I would ask what people put in their toiletry kits? Mine contains what I consider to be the standard and all that seems necessary... One toothbrush, One tube of toothpaste, one pump spray deoderant, one comb, one tube of Mennen shave cream and one -shiver- Gillette twin blade razor:eek: with spare cartridges (hardly used, prefer to go unshaven). The only thing I consider to be extra is the anti-histamine tablets I carry as a precautionary addition to my comfort.
Does anyone carry anything different to this? Or is this too personal a question?

I have Rowallan wash bag for travels.

I put in the bag:
straight razor, DE or Rolls Razor
small soap (usually Olivia's)
aftershave
small shaving brush
toothpaste and brush
small puck of tar soap (i keep it in a small army soap box)
comb

That is all i carry. The rest that i need i can buy when i get there where i'm going. My strop doesn't fit in my wash bag so i have it on the bottom of my travel bag (or motorcycle rack box)

In my bag one will find.

Straight razor
Little bottle of witch hazel
Skin food
Alum Block
Palm Olive shave cream
little plastic bowl
pumus stone
nail clippers/scissors
tweezers
mirror
clothes brush
comb
travel badger brush
shoe horn
assortment of cologne testers just in case
roll on deoderant

and believe it or not, this is not a very big bag lol, I'm just rather good at packing :p

I was going to ask if you needed a suitcase for that lot too! :p

Besides the obvious toothbrush and such I pack Q-Tips and a straight pin

The strop lays flat between soft clothing in my suitcase.
My brush is in a cardboard toilet paper roll

Here's my Rowallan bag. I put the razor next to it to reflect the size. They are made of leather in Scotland, and i got this from my wife few years ago.
Army soap box is just a small plastic soap box issued to every newcomer in our troops.
Sorry for the poor pic. Just a quick shot.

Thanks. Looks like a good set-up.

I was thinking of buying some soap leaves. A little feminine, I know, but my mother had some once and the pack was so small and easy to carry.

Anyone ever tried them?

I've never purchased them, but remember from my childhood some public restrooms having a soap leaf dispenser. I can remember thinking how cool they were. Doesn't sound feminine to me.

Well, what a coinsidence..I am traveling this weekend. I never carry a straight razor abroad in case it is taken away for security reasons. I carry in a small zippered bag:

Merkur DE with two packs of spare blades in a plastic soap container
Shaving Stick
Hogs hair brush in a plastic container
Small bottle of aftershave in plastic bottle
tooth comb
tooth brush

oh...was forgetting, Proraso preshave cream; never leave home without it. HOG
