    Me too.

    I have a Tabac stick that’s at least 3 years old and is reserved for travel use.

    I think it’s the old formula and I prefer it to the regular Tabac. I don’t travel too often, so it should last a while.

    To me a shave stick like the Tabac one is the only way to go for travel. I'd say learn to face lather and skip dragging a bowl around while you are at it. A smaller sized synthetic brush in a plastic pill bottle too. Make sure to drill some holes in the bottom of the pill bottle for ventilation. You can even get a 4 piece travel DE that comes in its own case. All that makes for a very compact travel shave kit.

    Yes, for shorter trips the Tabac stick works quite well.

    I hardly use shaving sticks except for short trips and the Tabac stick has a larger surface than most other sticks (e.g. La Toja), which makes it IMO a more pleasant experience. The Tabac stick also comes with a safe and secure screw cap that does not come off as easily as some sticks (e.g. La Toja or Lea).

    Truth be told, I found most shaving sticks underwhelming, but there is always Haslinger shaving soap in the small aluminium container that works like any other shaving soap.

    For longer trips, I usually take one of my standard shaving soaps in a container, ideally with screw top (e.g. Haslinger or 150 g Antiga Barbearia de Bairro), or one of my shaving creams.

    Thanks all can I ask where you get the stuff or you just order on Amazon or something? But so many recommendations for Tabak I’ll give it a try and look up the others as well.

    I often buy from The Men's Room Barbershop Store. They have a good selection and good pricing. I found them price shopping MWF and liked their other offerings as well.
