How to pack your grooming products for your trip!
Whether you plan to check in your luggage or travel light with only hand luggage, you don’t have to leave your grooming routine at home. Here we give you our best tips on how to pack for the trip and tips on our best travel companions in your toiletry bag!
Gromming and wet shaving products for the hand luggage
If you are traveling with only hand luggage, it is important to prioritize, but with the right planning and products, you can get as good a shave on the trip as at home. Our favorites in hand luggage are:
Travel sizes – get your favorites in small sizes. This way, you don’t have to opt out of any products. We have several of our bestsellers in travel-friendly sizes.
Shaving stick – super practical and allows for a close and gentle shave wherever you are. Shaving stick is a shaving soap in the shape of a stick, which is easy to take with you and use when you are on the move. They come in several different scents and are most easily used by moistening the face with warm water and pulling the stick on the face, and then working up a lather directly on the face with a shaving brush.
Bar soap – feels wonderfully retro and is perfect in your hand luggage instead of the bottle of liquid body wash. Also available for the face and comes in a variety of scents.
Shaving and beard tools in mini format – you might think it’s for the gadget crazy, but most tools and accessories take up a lot of space in your bag. These mini variants are made with the same precision as the original sizes and work at least as well. Not only perfect for the trip but also to have every day in your briefcase or even your pocket for a touch up during the day.
Another thing to keep in mind is to skip razors and razor blades in your hand luggage to avoid problems with security… Choose a shavette or safety razor and procure the blade on site at your destination.
Gromming and wet shaving products for checked baggage
Even if you choose to check in your luggage, it’s nice to pack light. Many products have multiple uses, which is practical for travel. Our favorites in the suitcase:
Argan oil – this oil can be used for skin, hair, beard and as a pre- or after-shave as it both softens the hairs before shaving and has anti-inflammatory properties that soothe the skin after shaving. The oil can be used both on the face and on the body and has a softening effect. Argan oil can even be used as a hair mask, massage the oil in with your hands and let it sit for 60 minutes. Then wash out the oil or let it sit overnight.
Shave tonic – can be used both before, during and after shaving or just as a refreshing splash of hydration during the day. Moisturizes and cares for the skin thanks to ingredients such as aloe vera and vitamins such as E, A and D. Really good multi-product and therefore a given travel companion!
All in one – it doesn’t get any smoother, with an all in 1 product you get shampoo, body wash and face wash. Perfect for the slightly lazier who doesn’t want to deal with lots of different products and of course ultimate to have in your bag.
Case/toiletry bag – last but not least, protect the shaving tools in a stylish case, and don’t forget the protection for the shaving brush! With the right protection and case, you will extend the life of your products as it protects the sharpness of the knife or blade and maintains the stiffness and quality of the brush.
