Thread: Can anybody suggest a good soap/cream setup for travel?

I bought a very nice Dopp kit (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ilpage_o09_s00) that has room for a mug, razor in sheath, razorock, shave cream, travel brush, etc in the top, with a small compartment in the bottom for tubes of shampoo, body wash, conditioner, whatever (although for those, you can use what the hotel provides).

I will suggest a small tube of C.O. Bigelow, $5 bucks at Bath & Bodyworks, as for the brush, what ever you have can travel, and for a mug, I use either a coffee mug or glass that is provided in the room.

Stick of Tabac or Palmolive and a 1305 with flaking paint in a travel brush holder.

Just make sure the natural brush is dry before you close it up....gentle blow drying can help that along.

Travel shaving can teach you a lot about doing more with less.
After one of my recent trips using a limited space I took up cleaning the blade on the top of my weak side forearm (and I shave with both hands - 50/50)
Came home and have not used the washcloth on the counter method since. (I have razordinkaphobia and only rinse once, carefully, at the end)

Switched to face lather on a trip years ago after scoring some Palmolive sticks on a trip to Germany (they have this stuff in the Grocery store...my German friends thought I was crazy)

Smooth shaving & travels...

Here are two options. I agree with the synthetic brush. Look at the Kent Infinity (inexpensive and effective).

1. You can get a 4 oz. plastic jar from Specialty Bottles or one similar, put in a puck like a Stirling sample or a full puck of Haslinger (they will fit). These jars are small and you can lather in the jar.

2. You can get one of these salsa dishes at Wal-Mart for a buck or two. Pair it with the travel size Coate's Creams. They are a great cream and are the perfect size.



I face lather now, so it is much easier to travel.

Best of Luck,
