    My own personal travel set includes a Feather AC SS folder. And a Gillette Slim...

    A straight shave on the road without stropping. This is how the Feather AC became an indispensable part of my shaving arsenal.

    Throw in two straights, a cheap strop, and you are set.

    It's Macau. Safety razor may be in order. But, the need for smooth being high on the list in Macau:

    Joris and your fave blades, QC soap (luck), and the most expensive AS you got.

    And since you'll be up all night...



    See above

    I also like shavette as a travel option. Parker SRX for me.

    I'd go with a shavette. If you ding the blade it's easy to drop in a new one. Unless you plan on taking all your str8 maintenance gear.

    I voted the de. I figure you'll get great easy shaves for your time of refreshing. Then you'll feel good and look good too.

    I'm a scent n00b. Haven't tried the Fredrick Malle Musk Ravaguer (now have too :D ), but the Eau Sauvage is GTG!

    Late to the party, but I'd take only a razor that I wouldn't mind losing, having to turn over to authorities, or getting damaged. TSA and friends (baggage handlers, other security, etc.) are not known for their gentle handling of things.

    I concur. Don't take anything that you would be upset losing.

    I tend to agree on the re airport security.... unless you're taking check-in luggage.
