My travel kit:
- 2 8/8 Friodurs previously in razor coffins, but since my wife threw all mine away accidentally I am using bubble wrap and boots as storage (I rotate but I always take 2 which are replaceable incase of loss or damage)
- one small pure badger brush
- a travel strop made by Tony Miller
- 2 Tubs of shaving cream by Colleen
- 2 tubs of shaving soap by Sue
- Coral skin food
- Aqua Velva Musk aftershave
- GFT Sandlewood Cologne
- Royall Musk Cologne
- a Styptic pencil
- one bottle of lavander preshave oil
- One first aid kit (oh shush I havent actually ever had to use it!!!...well ok except for the ear...so once...big freakin deal lol)
- Lynn's address (I have it memorized at this point) for all my honing needs. I think I have sent Lynn razors from several states at this point...soon he can start building a stamp collection lol.
I thin thats it and yess it all fits in one dopp kit...its sort of big though hehe
I refuse to deny myself lifes simple pleasures just because Im not home...if I crash on a plane or get shot on the street I will miss saying hello again to my lovely wife, and I will miss all the birthdays and family celebrations, but I WILL die with the satisfaction that I got one last good straight razor shave in....and that will have to do, because its the only part of that equation which I can control, and thats going to have to be good enough for me.
oh and btw...I am absolutely NOT a minimalist... :)
