advice for buying a travel brush

[caloy24]

There's also these options (scroll down to 'Brush Tubes') from Em's place, I thought they were a good idea and will probably invest in one. That way you can just take your favorite brush with you rather than have to invest in a brush especially for travel.

I have two of those clear plastic brush tubes from Em's Place and I have found that the wooden handled boar brush from Omega fits perfectly in one, as does a Vulfix #404. Another tube to hold an Arko shave stick, and I'm set.
I'll probably be carrying a tube of Tom's of Maine "Refreshing Mint" shave cream, too, just for variety.

Wifey and I are going to be going to visit her relatives in the Philippines later this year and the last time I visited, I sat at the dining table to shave, with various nieces and nephews watching the goings-on. Boiling water in a kettle on the stove and using a plastic dishpan to shave in is the order of the day. Yes, we get spoiled by our plumbing here in North America.

I happened to be in Germany a few weeks ago, and it turns out they have pretty good plumbing there, too.

Bring Yor Brush To The Pharmacy. They Will Give You An Appropriate Size Bottle And Then Drill Some Vent Holes In It. I Did It And It Works Great.
