Thanks Lane. I use a Mach3. The razor isn’t as important as the Pacific Shaving Oil though. :)

Karol, I’m loving your stuff. What type and brand of razor do you shave with?

Sweet! I hardly ever travel, but I love multi-purpose minimalist travel gadgets and gear!

Ha! Well, it does have more than one use, so it’s a minimalist product. :)

I know it sounds a little weird, but I read somewhere online that you can use sex lube as shaving oil. Same concept, add a couple of drops to your face. Shave. Now your face smells like Pina Colada.

Awesome Robyn! Yes, it definitely works if you’re not traveling. I’m living in Poland for almost 5 months and my list hasn’t changed. Although I did replace my crappy travel pants. :) (P.S. I love a fluffy towel as well, but the MSRs are surprisingly soft.)

love this list – and i actually think it works well for those like me who don’t travel much at all! easier to be sure my devices work if i know i can plug them into my computer while working, i can bring a water bottle with me everywhere, and using shaving oil instead of foam or soap means less waste overall. i do love a fluffy towel though!

Hey Josh,

Thanks! It’s probably because I don’t shave every day and my beard grows in thick. 2-3 drops just never works out. :)

Karol, I can totally relate with the shaving oil.

If you’re having to use 8 or 9 drops, try putting 2 or 3 drops and massage into your face, then wet your hands with water and pat your face down. During shaving make sure you keep your face wet with water and you’ll find it’s enough.

You’ll get even more mileage this way :)
