Nice kit!!! I like the idea of using a vintage soap holder, and I'm going to guess that's a Palmolive stick.Basically this is what I bring on my travels, the Trac II is for when I fly with carry-on only and the Tech for when I travel by car o fly documented. The Muhle STF is the only synthetic that I enjoy when face lathering. No need for a bowl.

Hi Tanuki,Shiny! That is in great shape!
Thanks! You are right the Palmolive stick fits perfectly on those Colgate canistersNice kit!!! I like the idea of using a vintage soap holder, and I'm going to guess that's a Palmolive stick.
Now THAT'S a travel kit!!! Multiple razors, multiple brushes (and they appear to be animal hair), multiple soaps and various after shaves...all great choices!!! It's been a couple of decades since my last visit to Denali, but it was beautiful then and I'm sure it's beautiful now -- enjoy your trip!!!View attachment 1012153 Here’s my travel kit for current trek up into Denali Park in Alaska!

Thanks, Sir Flintstone!
Denali is still beautiful, this week fortunately nicer than a bit earlier when there were fires and floods!!
This one from today, along a ridge in the Alaska range just outside the park...
Rugged country. Now I see the need for moleskin in the travel kit.
Yep, you're right....still beautiful!!! That is a great trip!!!!Thanks, Sir Flintstone!

I'm a big fan of the pill bottles as blade holders as well. I need to find a carry-on option for a razor/blade -- I wish they'd let me take an injector (either Schick or PAL) in carry-on, and I know some will chance it, but I'm sure I'd be the guy who gets stopped and has his vintage razor confiscated.If by car: one of the Gillette Black Handle TTOs, a few blades in a pill bottle, travel size containers of Cremo, pre-shave oil, Witch Hazel and After Shave, small synthetic brush, styptic stick and whatever else occurs to me.
If by plane (I never check luggage): Gillette Atra, extra cartridge in a pill bottle, travel size containers of Cremo, pre-shave oil, Witch Hazel and After Shave, small synthetic brush, styptic stick and whatever else occurs to me.
All of this stuff fits in my toiletries bad with other stuff I take.
I can usually get a soup mug or small bowl from the hotel which I use to build lather.

Thanks for sharing your setup!
