Thread: Traveling with the straight razor

If I travel, I take my Dovo Master's, as Obie points out, it is a little easier to look after a stainless blade. I don't like to leave it out in the open position to dry, particularly in hotel bathrooms. It is not so much that it may get damaged, but it could present a danger to Hotel staff.

I do make sure it is honed before I leave home, so I do not need to take any hones with me, but I do have a TI 3" paddle strop that comes along for the ride, as does a small Omega Boar brush and a Palmolive Stick.

If I am only traveling for a couple of days and really do not wish to take checked baggage (traveling always involves a flight, from Qatar), then I take a DE instead of a straight. (I have also been known to make do with a disposable).
