**DONE** -- The "it will do in a pinch" travel kit PIF

OK, so I have been pondering what to do for a PIF, and this is the first one that came to mind. It's the "It will do in a pinch" travel kit PIF.

I've read a lot of posts about people traveling and not wanting to take one of their beloved razors or brushes for fear of losing them along the way, leaving them in a hotel room somewhere, or having someone pilfer them from your baggage or out of your hotel/motel room. Well, here's a quick solution... A "go bag" that includes a few essentials that you can leave in your car for unexpected/spontaneous trips, but which includes a few items you might not mind losing. (Or maybe you'll lose the kit on purpose, once you've tried it out. Who knows.)

Yes, sounds enticing, right? I'm really selling this.

All you have to do to enter this PIF is post "I'm in" along with a picture of one of your dream vacation spots. (Not a meme, or a picture of someplace awful that you'd never go, or a fake photoshopped pic... A pic of a real, honest to goodness place you would like to go, or that you have already been to but would love to return to.)

Here's what's in the "go bag." Remember, this isn't glamorous stuff... It's stuff you might want to try out but wouldn't feel awful about if it got left behind accidentally in a hotel room. It might also make a good starter kit for you or someone you know. Or you could throw it all away except the bowl and just eat salsa out of it.

1. A Yuma razor... In an Ever-Ready case.
2. A brush of unknown origin. Probably boar hair.
3. A nice sized sample of Barrister and Mann Baudelaire soap.
4. A nice sized sample of RazoRock Boston Tea Party tallow soap - (discontinued!)
5. A Styptic pencil.
6. A tuck of Gillette 7 O'clock blades.
7. A tuck of Derby blades.
8. A self-bottled and labeled mini-bottle of Witch Hazel.
9. A small sample bottle of Aqua Velva Ice Blue.
10. A salsa bowl to make lather in!
And 11. A zippered waterproof travel pouch from Eagle Creek to hold everything.

Remember, reply with "I'm in" and a photo of a vacation spot that strikes your fancy.

I'll run this until March 31. Then I'll use random.org to draw the winner.

Good luck, and safe travels!

Oh, and if you win, don't try to take the blades on board a plane in carry-on luggage. The TSA will definitely bust you. And then some random person will buy this kit one day at a Government auction of confiscated contraband, and probably re-sell it for hundreds of dollars.

This is a really cool PIF. I'd love to try a Yuma, and I could use an Ever Ready case, but I don't really do a lot of traveling, so I am Not In.
Good luck to all!

The Hilton Caribe in San Jaun Puerto Rico. My wife and I loved it, and would like to go back someday.

 

I would love to take my wife to Antwerp. I've been here for business....alone.

The problem with Paris is that if you and the wife are walking around you cannot stop to tie your shoe.

 

I'm in. Maybe next year...

 

The Marshall Islands I'm in
