Thread: Travellers, shaving bowl or no shaving bowl.

Hi all, I am just wondering what you all use when you are on your travels?
Do you have a specific travel straight, shavette or safety razor and also my main question is what soap do you use when travelling? I don't have a huge wash bag and my shaving soap is a 150g tub, it is a little big and bulky just to take away for a week or two. Do you guys buy smaller tubs to take or do you have a little shaving bowl with a lid and just buy small replacement soaps or anything else weird and wonderful that I could consider?

Thanks all

Mark

i like the Palmolive shave stick really well(there are other options too) and always face lather any way.

Face lather. One less thing to haul around.

Transfer your favourite soap into an empty shave-stick container.

I travel with a DE, tuck of blades, synthetic travel brush, small alum and a shave stick. Add to that some AS/Edt. I face lather at home or away so no bowl. If you absolutely need to have a shave bowl something like a rubber collapsible dog dish might be an idea.

I carry a bowl.... which is one of my kids old cereal bowls - Anpanman plastic - light. The ceramic heavy bowl I leave at home.

It is part of my job to spend nights away from home and for softer soaps like Cella, or even up to Mitchell's Wool Fat, I use a sealable round plastic (to save weight) food container.

I am primarily a face latherer and with these containers I don't need to change my lathering routine.

Face lather!
I also put some shave cream and my aftershave in small travel size containers.
You can also get a small travel size tube of proraso from bath and body works labeled as CO Bigelow. it's lovely
I keep my straight of choice pre-stropped in a plastic Dovo coffin.
happy travels

Razors, paddle strop, tube of shaving cream and omega synth brush. If you are worried about humidity in your travel gear consider stainless steel razors.
