    Not the sink, but you did remind me that I'm very partial to my lighted shave mirror which doesn't match the rest of my bathroom accessories but it's fabulous for shaving and the wife loves it for applying makeup. No shadows.

    Tooth brush, tooth paste, shampoo/body wash, deodorant plus a shave brush, razor, soap and bowl and a couple packs of blades. In short everything I use at the house which isn't much goes in my shave kit.

    Gillette tech because it packs small and I don't care if I lose it. Any brush I made myself. Cream in a tube mate Nivea sensitive skin. An assortment of 10 blades or so.

    youngunn Where's my TSD aftershave balm???

    If I'm going rustic with no running water, going to the stream to wash etc, then:

    Brylcream (don't have to wash hair)
    Pocket comb
    Ever Ready Shovelhead (rugged, great shaver, finish wearing so I wouldn't care If it got a little messed up while being in the wild)
    Personna SS PTFE
    Whoos Victory SS
    Aqua Velva Ice Blue
    toothbrush / toothpaste
    Castille soap (can wash everything with it, face, body, hair, clothes )
    Deodorant
    Gold bond powder

    This actually sounds like fun, I need to go camping before it freezes.

    I like being outdoors and all that, but I CANNOT do without bathing for more than 1 day.
    I'd have to be deathly ill, or held at gunpoint or something.
    Since I've begun wet shaving, it has become increasingly difficult to go to sleep with stubble on my face.
    I can do it, but I certainly don't like it.

    Assuming that this trip does not involve commercial flying:

    1 - Mikes Natural shampoo bar.
    1 - Kent combination comb
    4 - Ivory bar soap.
    1 - 4 oz. Baking Soda
    1 - tooth brush
    1 - Osma Alum block. (the large one - deodorant)
    1 - Palmolive creme. (in the dark green tube w/palm extract)
    1 - Omega 48 brush.
    1 - Merkur 30C
    or
    1 - Muhle R89
    or
    1 -EJ DE89

    15 - Big Ben stainless blades.
    1 -Styptic pencil
    1 - 6 oz. travel bottle of Thayers Witch Hazel w/Aloe

    2 - 750ml Jim Beam Rye Whiskey (for before shaving)
    2 - 750ml Jim Beam Rye Whiskey (for after shaving)

    It's very soothing. It also comes in a spray form too. There's also a Gold Bond body lotion that comes in a green bottle that I want to check out. You can't forget the foot powder either.
