Tips for a Travel Shave with some cool shaving items. 

Sir, Thanks for video. May I say some words.....I learned about shaving techniques from your video. Cartridge razor gives me nice shave. But not clean and I get light dark shade on my cheeks. So 1 year back I switched to wet shave with following your channel. Lot of items not available here. I get Proraso (3 varieties), EJ DE 89, Merkur, Omega brushes...from Amazon global. I never find blade's sample pack. So I tried with Astra, Shark. derby, Personna... 100's pack (almost Rs. 18 per blade). All are performed great with little cuts and bleeding. After watching your video, I tried with Wilkinson Sword. It also not for me. Once you highlighted its name Gillette Wilkinson Sword "Saloon Pack". It is amazing. Alum block not alarming. Yes, lot of difference between ordinary and Saloon Pack. (Ordinary imported from China and Saloon Pack manufactured in India) Now I have only 20 blades and I booked for more at local shop. Its cost Rs. 25 for 10 blades pack. It is very low price comparing with my imported blades. Sir, your small word change my mind and my searching journey ended with satisfaction. Respect you Sir

Congrats on 9,000 subscribers! When you reach 10,000, you should do a straight razor shave to celebrate the milestone...

I've finally figured out the one bad thing about your videos, I find all this cool stuff I have to add into my collection! Lol. Great video, as always!

Once again, great video sir! I have a question about soap. Do you bloom your soap? And why?

Great tips and items wish I had thought of those minis that is actually a pretty cool idea. Another tip I have seen for traveling when you don't want to check your bags is to drop mail yourself some blades to your hotel.

Hi Ken, I have one (two, if I'm being honest) of those Gillette travel razors, but my case(s) isn't nearly as nice as yours. I don't like the dinky little handles. I use the head, but instead, I got a 3-D printed insert from www.etsy.com/shop/FrugalShave, a used Altoids tin, and an inexpensive handle from Razorock. For a travel lather I like shave sticks.

I have two of the Travel Techs, both J4s, my birth year. They are cute-looking little things, aren't they? Actually the regular ball tip handle is simply a bit longer than its travel cousin, and is plenty small and portable anyway for travel. The Tech's mildness might be offset by the use of a feather blade for some.

Have you ever tried the Mühle Travel Brush. In my Opinion that’s the best thing ever for traveling.

Hi Ken get the Floris 89 EDT it’s a great scent. Very similar to DR Harris 29 cologne. It’s stronger than the aftershave.

That is a beautiful case but I'm not sure about that handle. It looks so tiny. Those soap minis are such a great idea. Is that mug made of a shatter proof plastic?

I have a silly question for everyone, I heard that if you shave in one direction after a period of time your facial hair will grow in that same direction, is there any validity to that statement??

Great shave Ken. Soap Commander has these little samples that you can buy that are about the size of an ice cube that are TSA friendly and last for at least 3 or 4 shaves easy and they also have similar sized samples of aftershave balm. As far as what razors to take, the Leaf will more than likely go unoticed due to the fact that it looks like a modern cartridge razor. I was told that anything less than 3 ounces would be accepted and to hit the travel section at retailers.

Ken I have a quick question for ya. I’ve tried to look it up my self, but didn’t find anything on this used vintage DE razor I bought on eBay. I paid a cheap price of $10 with free shipping. All I can tell you about the razor is it’s a butterfly opening razor and under the razor head it says REG U.S PAT OFF F 3 Gillette Made In The U.S.A would you be able to tell me what year it’s from? If you can’t no worries. I’m going to clean it up and use it anyways. Thanks in advance.

I love that little razor & I wish the pacific shaving company made their product with much more attractive scents! 😕 🤷🏻‍♂️ I reviewed the shaving cream, aftershave balm & shave stick for Stan & was very pleased with them, they’re great performing products you can pick up locally.

For travel I take shave cream in a tube (like toothpaste) and face lather. Handy, practical, safe and compact. And always a synthetic brush. Dries quickly and doesn't mind even if carried along humid.

Great shave and video, Ken! Thanks so much. Yes a little too much water in that brush for the minis, but I appreciate the "we're live and anything can happen" nature of your videos! I'm trying to make it to The Big Shave this year. Would be great to say hi in person.

My local target has all the Pacific shaving stuff on clearance.

Where can I find information regarding Big Shave West? Preferably somewhere that is not Facebook.

Cool, I have the same razor..love the head, hate the handle..

Just buy one of those Proraso travel kits, you can refill any of the containers with like product from larger containers. Blades can be located locally or sent ahead. If you don't like the small brush in the kit, buy an Omega Mixed Midget for around $20. If you want a lathering bowl, buy one of those collapsible "slow feed" dog bowls. They collapse flat have protrusions in the bottom to create turbulence to whip up the lather. If you want soap, just use a good sized knife and cut off a section from a larger bar or halve a small puck. Space and weight are important when flying. Thanks for the video Ken.

Great shave love the tech can't beat it for a nice mild shave my local cvs has all the pacific products 👍

Please try a Blackland Vector

Thanks Ken that was really interesting. I keep changing my travel gear. Before it would be straight razor, strop, big soap puck etc. Lately more cartridge and cream. Fun to change around though. Take care!

Great shave Ken!

Pretty cool lil razor! And that brush is badass

Great shave Sir 👍 Indeed, bring the DE razor and pick up a couple of blades when you arrive. No throwaway nonsense - good for the face and good for the environment! 🌎

Nice shave! I've heard of Floris as there are some reviews out there (even on youtube fragrance channels). First of all, EDT or EDP are not to be used after the shave as the alcohol concentration is higher than in the case of the A/S splash and they also lack the healing/calming ingredients of the A/S. What you can do you can buy an A/S balm and the EDT (eventually the smaller cheaper bottle) so you can put the EDT after the balm, both sporting the same 89 scent. You can get the smaller bottle for around 60 $ and the balm for around 30 $.

Wow, what a great deal for that razor set. You are a lucky guy! Really lovely piece,. For collecting it it's awes., But if you have the Gillette tech Ballend aluminium, you normally don't need the travel one. The Alu Tech is so light and the 1cm shorter handle... Come on 🤣👍

Thanks, Ken. Great video! One question I was hoping you’d answer-what kind of razor would you bring if you were NOT able to check a bag and therefore could not bring D/E blades (assuming also that you did not have time to stop and pick up some blades once you arrived). The very tightly scheduled business trip comes to mind. Sometimes you don’t have time to check a bag, wait for a bag, or make any unscheduled stops. Thanks.

Dylan Bakers best line.. people train dont run outa Wichita... people train runs outa Stubville. And then her last baby come out sideways... PLANES TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES.. for sure look alike 👍🏻💈

Nice shave Ken. When I go travelling I take my Merkur travel box, with either the 34c, the 37 or the Progress along with some blades. It was designed for their small razors of that size. I also decant some TOBs cream into an old Proraso pre shave tub and pack my small Edwin Jagger brush. It's almost like being at home. :) Here's to the 10K!

Nice shave Ken💈 I've had one of those travel razors for years and never used it, may give it a go now just to see how she shaves. That inch and a half long handle seems non intuitive, but I guess it works eh. Those mini soaps look like the right idea and obviously work as well. Great video and comments. Enjoy!

Very nice vid w cool equipment. I dated this girl that used to travel with half a suitcase full of stuff for her hair...used to drive me nuts, specially on the way back when the expected me to make room for her stuff in my suitcase. So I hate traveling w too much stuff. My shave routine traveling: close normal shave before departure. Take new 2-3 blade disposable. Trim the upper and lower beard sides every day using the hotel conditioner. Might shave all every 2 days if needed for appearance. Might take a nice small soap if questionable hotel.

That's a nice skull brush, pairs well with the crystal skull. Hope you can find a skull stand for it as you found for the razor!!

Hey Ken, great video and shave on shave options when travelling. As a fellow Bond Aficionado I'm looking forward to your Bond tribute shave. I have the Floris shave soap and Aftershave beautiful stuff, funny it was Skyfall that got me into traditional wet shaving.

Great shave Ken, you always find the coolest stuff. Anyway, it looks like a nice little vintage razor but it didn't look very comfortable to use with that small handle. ;P

Great shave. When I traveled to Mexico, I brought a Gillette Good News disposable razor and a Gillette travel sized shaving cream in a bag. Also brought for the trip was a Gillette aftershave gel. That's basically travel shave gear I had for the trip in order to maintain my good looks. Have a great weekend

Flash Tag Video for ya Ken. I cream, A Crop and a Soap one bowl...... I just did mine ~! Nice travel shave Ken ~! Kit

I bought a pack of minis last summer , really liked them ,good slickness and a pleasant light mint smell, and didn’t get any irritation from it

Hi Ken- Nice video and shave with great travel options; thanks as always! No movie this weekend? Take care and best regards!

You do look like Dylan Baker. I was saying that for a long time I just didn’t know the actors name.

Great video Ken! Could you do a shave with the Cremo cooling shaving cream? And could you suggest some shaving creams with menthol? Thanks

Thank you steve buscemi

Great info Ken! I will have to get some of them Gillette safety razors you have been showing us over the last few years. I have enjoyed wet shaving. Thanks for all the videos.

Ken, thanks again for a greatly informative video. I own a birth year/quarter (1964 J3) Gillette Travel Tech set similar to yours, but I confess to owning it just to have one for my collection, as I have never as yet tried it out. When we go on vacation this summer I will now plan on taking it after seeing that you got a good shave from it. I hope to get some of those minis one day soon, as well to go along with it. I use an Omega small boar brush as my go-to for travel, and it works well. Take care, have a great day ! Rob

I have a new brush from Rich Man shaves coming,and like 3 other shaving related packages also,pretty darn excited.👍

Cool travel shave Ken! You might make early retirement if you keep up 1,000 subscribers a month!! Congrats Kensurfs!!!.

Nice shave! I only tried the minis once but they give a pretty decent lather. That razor has a short handle... not made for a club fisted guy. I asked for vacation to go to big Shave also. Hopefully it will be dealt with this week...

Hey Ken thanks a lot for trying out the products that really means a lot and I hope the brush Tidwell and hope you like the soap as a pre-shave

i thought you look like william macy

So, I am wondering how many immediately hit pause and looked up "Dillion Baker" then resumed watching the shave? :D

You really look like Dylan Baker:)

The sound of the water tap (about 12:50 mark) reminded me of an old-fashioned home movie projector!

What is the use of shave tonic

I go to Cuba or Mexico for 2 weeks evey year . I take a little can of shave cream . One disposable razor . I only shave maybe 4 times . Don't over think this . Lol. .

Traveling soon. Love the videos. Love the ideas and this video. Keep up the sharing. Thanks

the mini's one guy has them for sale on ebay 135.00$$ !!!! lol great shave ty

Legend has it, James Bond uses a porcupine for an aftershave.

EdT.... always. Lasts longer😉

Soap for travel i buy samples from the cottage vendors and take those.. That way if i don't use it all and leave it its not a big loss

Hello Kensurfs, can you shave yourself next Time with dorco prime and edwin jagger de89. Today i shave myself with them and i got mixed feelings 💈💈💈👈💈💈

Awesome Video Ken. Love that travel razor. All the best. Chris

Great video as always ken Congrats on 9k you'll get to 10k in no time

$12? WTF :D I love these old Tech razors. Even the newer global shave club remakes. Definitely going to add at least one Tech to my collection :-) PS: 11:31 I bet it's an honor for them, too!

Great video, Ken. Thanks for sharing the tips!

My buddy just gave me the same travel razor except it's an L-1 1966. I find it works OK but is a little to mild for me!

I have that same razor in my travel Dopp kit - it is one of my favorites, I like shaving with it better than most of my other razors - even better than my 34c for a mild shave. Great video - been wondering about the minis - gonna try them out now.

Add Allen Harper to your list of people you resemble, the voice as well, or as he was called in the 80's, Duckie.

Great shave ken and that's one tiny handle and no 3rd pass needed

great video as always wow sweeeeeeeeeet travel kit

Great video as always ken! I have been wet shaving for a little over 6 months and I have been bitten by the shaving bug! I fly transatlantic at least once a year and I only bring a carry on. For my most recent trip I brought a cartridge razor as I don’t want to check my bag. Anyone have any tips on flying with safety razors? I have heard of people buying or sending the blades to their hotel but that seems kinda like a pain.

Better give a like to the video.....great video..

A really nice travel shave. Thank you for your tips.

such a sweet and nice Razor...awesome :-)

Great shave Ken! I use the Parker A1R when I travel and it does right by me. Was impressed with the soap. That is a handy travel tool! Keep it up. Looking forward, as always, to the next video.

Use aftershave.

Great video , did my first de travel shave last month in Cuba , pretty neat experience. Going through customs they did pull my shave kit out of my travel on to make sure there were no blades in my razor

I use the no.89 aftershave balm. It is absolutely beautiful. So silky smooth and the scent is very old school indeed.

Congrats again on 9k Ken! Well deserved 🤙 This is actually great timing as we’re starting to plan for some traveling fun next month and later this year. Floris 89 is really good especially the EDT.

Great video. I use that same razor when I travel

The Van Yulay bowls work pretty good but are a little tough to clean out.Thanks for the video Ken.😃

Nice find on that travel razor, in great shape.

omega 11047 as travel brush is good xD
