Toiletry bags/travel kit recommendations

[Bluesman]

I travel around a lot. I currently have a big toiletry bag that I'd like to replace with something small and convenient. I recently figured out that traveling light is really nice.


It needs to fit:

Toothbrush
Toothpaste
Travel shaving brush
DE razor
Razor blades
Shaving stick or shaving creme tube
Aftershave
Deodorant
Blister of aspirin


I know there's plenty of stuff out there and I could just get the first one in front of me, but I'm hoping you guys got some awesome hidden gems for me.

I like the roll up type wash kits such as http://www.theoutdoorshop.com/showPart.asp?part=PN38583&product=Lifeventure%20Wash%20Roll although the one I use is a cheaper version I got off ebay and which is (IMHO) nicer. Very light and compact.

i have one from LLBean that is very convenient because it hangs.

i would like a similar style but in leather.

I use The Bluebeards Revenge Washbag http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/blog/product-items/the-bluebeards-revenge-washbag/

This may be larger than you want, but it will compress. Plastic lined, tough and inexpensive. I don't know if it is available in Europe, though, you'll have to look around.

Three that I have been looking at: Frog Pond hanging toiletry kit, the Tumi Alpha Hanging kit, and the Cabinet made by Victorinox. I like the Tumi but it is rather expensive. They also make one in leather. I plan to look at the Frog Pond and the Cabinet next week.

I received this one http://www.orvis.com/store/product.aspx?pf_id=6A04 as an early Father's Day present. It is the first hanging kit for me; used it once already and like it so far. I will need to get a smaller brush; the full sized brush in a pharmacy prescription bottle takes up too much room. At first glance it appears smaller than I expected but proved to have plenty of room assuming I find a smaller brush. And the price is not bad given the competition.

I like JCinPA's approach. Inexpensive, flexible (to squeeze into a tightly packed case if nec.), and one large compartment that opens wide to allow easy viewing of the contents (for both you and security screeners). You can find similar ones in smaller sizes, too.

JC mentioned Amazon. eBay is a good source for this kind of thing.

I use an old gillette travel bag. Got it off of ebay for pretty cheap.

I bought a Samsonite roll-up bag. 27 bucks. Very nice with lots of compartments and folds up flat.



I also really like the little water-proof compartment.

This is my kit bag by Maxpedition
I work away from home so I need something that lasts and carries enough gear to go the distance... without taking up too much room, it ticks all the boxes for me.

Vinyl Dopp Kit, Walmart shave aisle $7. Water resistant, lots of zippered pockets for storage and yet, still small and compact. Cheap and works.

Well, I finally pulled the trigger on a new toiletry bag. I initiated picked the Cabinet by Victorinix but sent it back because it was too small and the mesh in it was fine nylon and would break. I then picked the Tumi Alpha hanging kit.



The bag is quite large and holds a tremendous amount of items. I packed the side pockets with a Red Tip in a case, a full size Muhle synthetic shaving brush, and two shave sticks. In addition I was able to pack one tube of shaving cream, a small bottle of WH and AS, a tube of ASB, toothpaste, a toothbrush, dental floss, hairspray, a brush, deodorant, a wine vacuum and cork, a corkscrew, a knife, and a few other items. It holds as much as my large Dopp bag used to hold. The mesh is made out of a heavy material that won't break.

That sandpiper is added to my list, i think one for me and one for the ball and chain.

I use 2 different travel kits. For personal/leisure, I go with this one (Dopp Country Saddle Travel Kit):

And I have this one in my "go bag" for work-related travel (Sandpiper of California Toiletry Kit):
