Your favorite travel razor

[Captaincaveman1]

With a lot of travel restrictions around the world right now, I thought would be a great time to brush the dust off your favorite travel razor and show it off here.

I travel with a Merkur futur, I find the adjustable to be perfect as I can adjust after a few days of growth or tone it down to shave everyday. I also wouldn't be too fussed if I lost it as it's easily replaceable, at least for now.

Not much travel these days, but the Razorock lupo is my travel Razor. It is very light. Not an adjustable, but it is a great shaver. I hope I never lose it, but if I do, it is only $30

Timeless 0.68 OC

Mainly a SR shaver these days but the DE really shines for travel.

Gillette 2-3 blade disposable or cartridge and I do not take a brush nor a special soap (hotel conditioner). I travel light.

Haha, I guess I am not the only one that has shaved with hotel conditioner. It is great, right?
Al least, it does the job.

Awesome kit!

Merkur 985 or Wilkinson Sword Classic (black plastic version), subject to whether I'm pocket carrying a basic kit, or packing a full washbag.

My birth quarter Super Slim Twist is currently in a grooming kit, which either sits between the two, or compliments the full washbag. If complimenting, I'll swap the Super Slim Twist for a Dovo Shavette.

Oneblade core because I can safely shave in I-idiot mode (sleepy, tired, drunk) with it
Considering getting a second broman instead because it runs normal de blades

I don’t use a DE when I travel. I go back to my old Sensor.

I'm a bit of a weirdo when I travel -- some would maintain I'm a weirdo....period -- but depending on the method and length of travel, I usually take at least 2 razors from my den.

• Car travel (more than a day or two), I will take an injector and a DE. I like diversity when I'm on the road, so I will choose an injector I haven't used in a while. Initially it was the Schick Type H (Lady's Fashion Razor), but I've also taken the Type L with a Japanese twin blade loaded up as well. I have even taken my Schick Type A (the first Magazine Repeating Razor).
  
  As for the DE, I've taken a Tech, a Single Ring, a New Long Comb, New Short Comb, whatever I haven't used in a while. If I'm traveling during September, then I'll take one or two slant razors (for Slantember). If it's OCtober, then I pull a few OC razors with me as well.
  
  
  
• Air travel (where I can check my luggage), I'll take a couple of SE razors and at least 1 DE. My last trip to NYC, I took a Gem Junior Bar lather catcher and an Autostrop (B1)....both razors had roots in "the city", so I wanted to shave with them there. I also took a Single Ring that I know came from the Gillette Times Square store. Again, the rules surrounding SEptember, Schicktember, Slantember, OCtober apply as well. I don't usually do DEcember, but I probably will this year.
  
  
• For those times when I can't check luggage, I'll take a Gillette Guard. It's a perfectly fine shaver, it's just lacks "soul" in my eyes, so it doesn't usually make an appearance unless it has to.

I've got a trip coming up, and it'll be right around SEptember/Slantember, so I'm already trying to work out what will be coming with me. I'm also looking forward to traveling with a DE Shavette and a Weck Sextoblade -- both are great razors (especially the Weck).

Even when I was traveling by air every week for work, I ended up taking lather catchers and different DE razors. I always take a synthetic brush (either the Yaqi Familia Sagrada or the Moka Express) and at least two different sticks/creams (Arko, Palmolive, GFT Limes cream, LEA, La Toja....etc). I find traveling stressful....actually, I find life can be fairly stressful, and shaving is my zen-fun activity that helps calm my mind and just generally makes me happy. So yep, I'm a weirdo. I can post pics of any of the razors mentioned above or you can search B&B using the razor name and my member name (Flintstone65) and you'll see those razors in various threads I've posted in.

Safe travels!!!

Bic Metal or Bic Sensitive. They're small, light, do the job quickly. When you're traveling you don't really want to spend a long time in the bathroom.

I like the ATT S1 (slant) for travel. It's almost impossible to get a weeper with this razor and I don't take my alum when I travel.

Actually, that's a very good point, which I hadn't consciously considered. My travel razors (mentioned earlier in the thread) are all mild, and the only post shave I might take when travelling, might be an EdT if I there's some kind of special occasion on the cards.

If I'm checking bags on a flight or driving, I take along the Lord L6. If I'm doing carry on for a flight, a Bic Metal or Trac II.

 

[cw62803]

Lord L6. It does a great job and is so inexpensive I do not need to worry about breaking or forgetting it.

 

[BigJ]

+1! I also travel with a Lord L6.

It is a fine shaver, very light, it won’t break my heart if I forget it in a hotel room.

I’ve only traveled once since I began wet shaving. My travel buddy was the Merkur 34C. Did fine on the adventure!

This has been my preferred travel set for the last months since I got it - a 1960s Feather 1200 set. It is a wonderful shaver, like a Tech but with nicer weight. And the whole package is supercool, I find

My travel brush is a Simpson Major in best badger. Built for travel it fits the thinking perfectly, I really like it. Don’t have a pic of my specimen but it is this one:

I travel with my gc .84. excellent travel razor.
