I have had my eye on a Military Roll Up Wet Pack style kit for years (… and years). In particular, the No. 2 Shave Kit offered by Col. Littleton.
My current set up is a Dopp-style kit that has served me well for the better part of 20 years. Two middle compartments and two side compartments and it holds everything I need when traveling, and even some things that I don’t need.
Needless to say, my current set-up is looking a little tired so when I came across the Col. Littleton No. 2 Shave Kit on the Orvis website (with 20% off), I pumped the brakes a bit.
Very rarely, if ever, have I seen Col. Littleton items, let alone this shave kit, discounted on their website and I wasn’t even aware that Orvis sold this item.
Over the many years of looking at this shave kit, I’m quite certain its cost has increased by nearly a hundred dollars or so over the last decade (or more), with its current retail price of coming in at $337.50 (+ $10 for engraving). Not a small chunk of change for a shaving kit.
So when I saw it with a 20% discount (plus free engraving and free shipping), I figured…. What the heck!
I’m not getting any younger.
According to Orvis, it should arrive in a few days.
My kids will be so happy to know that I did their Father’s Day shopping for them.
Now all that’s left for them to do is to decide where I’m taking them for dinner.
(When I a kid, I would walk to the local pharmacy and buy a bottle of Old Spice (the Burly, if they had it) for my dad for Father’s Day. Simpler times.
These are pics of the. No. 2 Shave Kit from Col. Littleton’s website.

It looks like those compartments may be able to hold a watch or two.
I’m looking forward to it.
When I get it, you’ll see it.
