What’s In My Shaving Kit?

shaving-kit

I love my Dopp kit. It’s a durable, gray, waxed canvas bag made by Wm. J. Mills Sailmakers in Greenport, NY. I acquired this indestructible bag from Brooklyn’s own Owen & Fred, purveyors of smart, handsome, well-made and affordable accessories for men.

When I travel, whether by air, rail or road, I try to keep it lean and mean with the bare minimum, including travel size versions of my home bathroom accoutrements if available. Here’s the inventory:

* Travel size liquid approved by the TSA (3.4 oz or less).

  2. Tom’s of Maine just isn’t strong enough for this dude. Other than that, I’d throw a lip balm, a small bottle of talc, a septic pencil and a few bandaids in there, and then you’re good to go! (I’ve traveled the world with a kit set-up like this).

    1. Excellent additions. My lip balm usually goes in my pocket, but I forgot the band aids. I’d also add Advil.

  3. I keep a small stick of liquid styptic (no bigger than a chapstick) in my kit as well, as I inevitably cut myself shaving when I’m in a hotel room.
    Layrite? Good man.
