    Default Dopp kit help

    Ok, so I need to rediscover what new items and what items to remove from my dopp kit..

    Is there like a mini bowl or something for lather prep?
    What about shaving soaps? Do I just melt the soap in a smaller plastic container?

    ummm.. not sure how to fit this bowl in my dopp kit?

    umm soap stick.. need to get one and practice while at home before I take off...

    does local stores carry shaving soap sticks? Walmart? Walgreens? CVS? or is that speciality thing that I might need to order online?

    Probably need to order online. I'd recommend a palmolive shave stick. You can find them at superlather.com and the shave den store.

    $4 or $5 dollars or so... And it's an underrated product.

    I have never see shave sticks in any of the normal stores. I highly recommend shave sticks from Charles at QED (qedusa.com). I have been traveling with a Pine and Cedarwood stick for the last few months and plan to try some of the other scents soon. YMMV.

    No need for a bowl. Use a shave stick or cup the puck in your hand and work the brush with the other

    Most hotels will give you a water glass next to the sink in the bathroom. Smaller travel brushes are able to lather up satisfactorily in most of these.
