How to Pack a Travel Grooming Kit

If you travel often, then it's a good idea to have a separate travel kit ready to go. This saves time, precious luggage space, last minute packing stress, and arriving at your destination to realise that you have forgotten essential items. Wandering the streets of Buenos Aires searching for a toothbrush is much less fun than it sounds. So set up a dedicated travel grooming kit and effortlessly take your grooming routine anywhere your roaming heart leads you.

1. Deodorant - Jack Black Pit Boss Deodorant

Roll-on deodorants often leak in the reduced cabin pressure, so choose a solid stick or liquid spray.

2. Travel Tube - GoToob Travel Tube

A fantastic little travel tube made from soft yet rugged silicone. They don’t leak and they’re easy to fill and clean. They will hold almost any product (for example, shampoo) and are a great way to save space and weight when travelling. Every travel kit should contain a few of these.

3. Lip Balm - Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF25

Ideal to combat the drying effects of continuous aeroplane air-conditioning.

4. Manicure Kit - Czech & Speake Air Safe Maincure Kit

Avoid tools with sharp, pointy edges. We recommend nail clippers over nail scissors for travel, but if you elect to go with scissors, make sure the blades are shorter than 4 inches or they won’t be allowed on board.

5. Comb - Baxter of California Pocket Comb

Choose something compact and sturdy.

6. Moisturiser - Baxter of California Oil Free Moisturiser SPF 15

A moisturiser containing SPF is handy as it can serve multiple uses as a moisturiser, after shave balm and light sun protection, saving you packing space.

7. Shave Cream Tube - Geo. F. Trumper Sandalwood Shaving Cream Tube

Don't lug a great big jar of shave cream or can of aerosol around with you. Most of the best shave creams are also available in compact tubes under 100ml, which will be ample for a trip lasting less than a few weeks.

8. Travel Shave Brush - One Thousand & Ninety Two Synthetic Travel Brush

More compact than a regular shave brush. Includes storage case to protect the bristles when not in use.

9. Travel Razor - Merkur Solingen Travel Razor with Leather Case

Go for something compact, lightweight and designed for travel. Just remember to leave the blades in your checked luggage.

10. Face Wash - men-u Healthy Facial Wash Buddy Tube

Choose something in a small bottle, or transfer your favourite product into a GoToob. This travel-size face wash from men-u is ultra-concentrated and delivers up to 30 washes from a single 15ml tube.

11. Travel Size Kits - Triumph & Disaster 'On The Road' Pack

In a hurry or don’t like making decisions? We sell a number of pre-assembled, travel friendly kits that are ready to go.

12. All-in-One Wash - Jack Black Turbo Wash Energising Cleanser

You may consider an all-in-one hair and body wash if space is tight or your trip short. Save further space and weight by transferring your favourite product into a GoToob as most shampoos, conditioners and body washes come in bottles over 100ml.
