Ok guys, I have a few questions for you seasoned travelling wetshavers..
I'm leaving on vacation next Sunday and I'm trying to prepare what I'm going to take w/me in terms of my wetshaving gear. I already have a leather dopp kit, but I'm debating on whether or not to pick up a C&E best badger brush to take with me instead of my expensive Shavemacs. Good idea? Yes/no? Pros cons?
Next question: What do you guys use as a bowl to lather in on the road? Do you just lather up in the hand or do you travel with a bowl of some sorts?
Next: do you bring your entire tubs with you or do you fill up some little sample vials to take instead? I would think that the tubs would be a bit awkward to load up with. I'm thinking of just taking my tube of Proraso with me instead. Maybe also my tubes of C&E Sandalwood & Nomad.
In essence, I'm trying to do two things. First, I don't want to take my expensive gear with me (IE-Vision, Trumper's Creams, Shavemac brushes) with the way luggage mysteriously gets lost and the TSA loves to pilfer through bags. Secondly, I don't want to weigh down my shave kit with a bunch of tubs of creams/soaps, etc.
Anyway, your travel input is greatly appreciated
