DE travel kit

quick sink shot. I like the metal handled travel brush much better than the plastic one - everything seems easier and more natural in use. yes I brought another stand to use too :p nothing compact about this setup though so maybe I will keep on the hunt. although the bone bowl weighs nothing so that kinda counts right? all out of the Truefitt shaving cream samples now :( I got a small plastic screw lid container and squirted in some tabac to take and use for the next trip.

I have a nice Merkur leather case for my Futur. I asked to buy a tall, narrow bottle at my local pharmacy. The pharmacist produced exactly the correct bottle and, when he went to sell it to me, couldn't find a code to sell it under so he told me to just take it for free. It's a perfect fit for my brush. I have a plastic travel bowl with a screw-on lid for soap. It's not good to store a moist brush in a closed container long-term as mold/mildew can grow. But, for short-term storage during travel, I have never had a problem. The same is true with the soap; don't close up a wet soap for fear of mold or mildew growth. But, again, I have never had a problem with short-term closing for travel. Upon arrival, my first task is to unpack my razor, brush, and soap. It's that simple.

For air travel, blades must go in checked baggage. I'm told that it's best to put the razor in checked baggage too as the TSA people will key on it and search relentlessly for the accompanying blades if it's in carry-on baggage. You can also mail blades ahead. A few blades can go between a few pieces of paper and be mailed in an ordinary envelope for a single stamp. Address it to:

Mr G, if possible could you post a pic of the bottle setup you have for travelling with your brush, please? I have been trying to figure out a way to effectively pack my brush in my travel kit, and am having trouble picturing what you did...for now I simply wrap it in a paper towel before placing in my kit.

Ok. Here is is.

That is a very clever way to carry the brush! A glossy finished Futur and matching brush? How do you like that brush? Is that Witch Hazel in the clear bottle?
 
I think the Futur brush brush is great... but it is the only brush I own and the only brush I have ever used, so I know no better.

And the bottle contains my favorite aftershave: isopropanol... rubbing alcohol. I like a simple splash of Isopropanol after my shave. But, then again, I have oily skin, an extreme case.
