Looking for a good Dopp Bag

[Dave Colangelo]

For some time now I have been on the hunt for a good Dopp bag that wont bankrupt me. I quite like this one,

http://joshuvela.com/collections/small-goods/products/oak-wax-dopp-kit

And will most likely get the matching weekend duffle if I go with it. Things I carry/would need to fit in it

DE razor
Brush
Tube of cream
Tooth brush
Tooth paste tube (usually a full size one)
Deodorant (old spice)
Pinaud aftershave (or similar size bottle)
Comb
Hair gel/wax
Nail Clipper
Tweezers

Regards
Dave

That looks like a pretty nice one you picked out. Not sure how well the waxed canvas will hold up if it gets wet over and over again.

Got this last weekend : http://www.tommybahama.com/TBG/Men/Wedding/PRD_4169TM37/Sand++Surf+Canvas+Dopp+Kit.jsp

Opens fully (unlike some dopp kits), nice and deep and typical Tommy Bahama quality. Couldn't be happier.

Hope this helps.

There are some cheap gillette ones on ebay if you wanna go that route.

Not that the Joshuvela stuff ain't pretty ... but if I was going with canvas, I'd go cheaper with this stuff from Cabela's. Their stuff wears like iron.

OR

http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/prod...s&WTz_l=YMAL%3BIK-580253&WTz_l=YMAL;IK-518720

Both under $40. But that's just me. I don't get 'designer' stuff unless it is unquestionably better gear than comparable stuff.

I think an argument could be made that Cabelas is designer outdoor stuff. To make my point more clear, I can get a military grade canvas ammo bag from an army surplus store for about $15 that will long outlast that Cabelas dopp bag. So, perhaps you are worse off than us "designer" guys....you are doing the same thing we are, you have just been tricked into thinking otherwise.
