So what's in a correct shaving kit

[Mycroft]

To add in your kits, put Nick Relief Powder, its made with sulfer I think, it works wonders. They use it in all the old time barber shops near my house.

Excellent suggestion, Mycroft. A lot of guys aren't aware of either that product, or the old fashion steptic pencil/power for cuts and nicks. Regards! Michaelson

As I have said before, they work like a dream and a half.

Alum Block

I ordered an alum block from Caswell-Massey it works very well. You can also find powdered alum sometimes in grocey stores with the pickling stuff but I've never used it.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: If you use a double edge saftey razor get Merkur blades.

traveling brush and mug

I got a Caswell-Massey catalog in the mail yesterday and noticed they had brushes and mugs for traveling. The brushes come with a cover for the brushy part and the mug is really a small plastic bowl with a top. I don't travel enough to warrant getting them but it would be nice if you were often on the road.

Another note about a traveling shaving kit. I carry all kinds of shit in mine, first aid kit, corkscrew, ear plugs, etc. Every time I go on a trip and think "I don't want to carry all that stuff" I end up wishing I had it.
