At the moment, a 1965 Gillette Travel Tech which looks brand new (I've only shaved with it twice since I got it), paired with a Shark blade, and a mini-can of Barbasol Original. I might change that to my tube of Palmolive Classic, though. No doubt I should toss a styptic pencil in there along with some aftershave.
If by car, my travel kit includes a schick type g and one of my three synthetic brushes. I pick a seasonal soap, and matching aftershave.
For carryon by plane, I take a Gillette guard and travel size cremo. I pick a small balm style aftershave to go with.
Of course like all of you, I haven't traveled at all recently.

Travel????
I was just saying to someone, that one of the few GOOD things about being stuck inside and working from home is that I'm ALWAYS able to find the time for a good, long PROPER shave, each and every day, something I wasn't always able to do when I had to be in at the office at a certain time.
About the only concession I made back when we could travel was a pencil rather than a brick of Alum, and a tube of cream rather than a shave stick and a brush.

Some great and even creative travel kits here. I see a lot of double edge razors and blades. I wrote above that I use a Trac II in my travel kit. That's because most of my travel is 1-3 nights, so I've learned to simplify things to one carry on bag. Can't do that with DE blades.
I recently bought this fancy leather Dopp bag from Amazon and it is fantastic. It was about $30.
It contains a cheapie Lord L6 razor (in a fancy leather Amazon razor case), 4-5 assorted blades, a Rockwell synth brush (in a fancy Amazon leather case), a tube of Nivea shave cream, a tube of Frye & Co AS balm, a tube of Ceravie hand cream, a corkscrew (for wine), disposable lighter, toothbrush, toothpaste, desodorant, a 5ml bottle of Stirling AS, small spray bottle of eye glass cleaner, 2 sets of brass collar stays, a pair of cheap cuff links and a 7 day supply of my meds.

I have a beard so my kit kind of differs from everyone else's.

Razor: Gillette Tech
Blade: Personna
Soap: Shave stick (Arko, Palmolive or Tabac)

Thanks for the ideas, gentlemen.
I've never bothered to bring shave kit in my travels as I wasn't a wet shaver previously.
I have an Amazon Basics travel bag, it'll be enough to accommodate the shaving items as well.
Now that I look at the posts, I seem to be in need of a travel size shaving brush, rest of the items are available to me.

there's a Feather SS in the bottom of the bag. I'll take either of the brushes usually, the 4 pc DE lives in my truck glove box normally. the twist up tube doesn't fit in the bag, but one comes along on longer than a 2 day trip. that's my entire weekender/carry-on kit, and how I spent Nov.

For me it really depends on where i'm going and for how long.
If i'm moving to another town to work for a few weeks/months, I will take my most useful razors and stuff which are in my main rotation.
If i'm going to a friends house for a couple of days. I would take only one of my main razors, 1-2 blades, any of my synth brushes and any cream (and maybe my Timeless bowl along with an aftershave).
If i'm going on a vacation without using a plane and I want to travel as light as possible, I would take the things on the picture and depending on the situation I may not take any brush with me at all only a razor, 2-3 blades and shaving cream.
If I have to travel with a plane on a vacation or work for a couple of days or a week or two with a carry on luggage, I would buy a 1-2 disposable cartridge razors and take with me a small shaving cream tube and maybe, just maybe a synth brush as well.

You sir, are a brave man. I am too scared to shave with something where I can't see the edge on my skin.
Travel is the only time that the DE comes out nowadays. For portability and convenience it’s tough to beat. Even with the SR I go mostly on feel now. My lather’s always thick so I can’t see much always.
