A Weishi for me; decent razor, not a great loss if anything happens to it.
If I'm flying carry-on only I take a Colonel Conk handle and dollar store Precision G2 cartridges.
 
I traveled for 3 months last year and this is what I took.

Did not get bored with it or want anything else for the entire time so I think I picked well

Turtle, I'm taking, one soap, one razor, and one aftershave. Where I'm going I expect to find good stuff to buy and try (Czech Republic, Germany, and Austria) so I'm packing light!

Just take your appetite and buy what ever you need/want once you get there :001_smile
 
When traveling with carry-on or by car and/or space is limited I like the take-down features of either my fat handle or ball-end Tech. I just like it in a large pill bottle with a small brush and blades, all nice and neat in one place. If I was on an extended trip with checked bags, multiple days/locations, I would take a Super Speed or Slim so I didn't have to break down the razor in between successive stops. It's all good though, any of those choices would be way better that a disposable!
 
Though I would take a DE rather than an SE on a trip, because of the availability of blades in case your bags get lost, I have to pick the Schick on your list if it would be for me. But that is just because I don't get along too well with my Gillettes so far and prefer to take along a razor I really like to shave with.
 
I just got back from 15 days on the road. I had a Weber PH and 4 different kinds of blades, plus a Schick G4 Injector.
 
When I travel I take a superspeed because I always get great shaves from them and they are easily replaced if misplaced. Have fun on your trip!
 
Thanks for voting. My Slim is staying home, for sentimental reasons I would hate for harm to come to it. In combined second place are the superspeeds, and 1951 is the winning vote getter between the two, so it gets to travel! I'm packing the Type G just in case (and they are a dime a dozen).
