Creating a Travel Bag

I see that there has been various discussions about travel bags and their contents. However I know that lots of new items appear almost each day and am looking for a bit of guidance.

My circumstances are that I can end up travelling all over the UK due to my work. On occasion I arrive at a location and have to stay in accommodation, literally just walking in late in the evening and booking.

I have bought a large The North Face Canister which can fit a reasonable amount of wash kit. This will give you an idea of the size (PFA) -

I'm looking for suggestions as to DE razors and containers that won't break or leak. The kit will sit in a large hold-all in the boot of a car and will be thrown about from time to time.

I'm not looking for top of the range expensive items, just something that will do the job reasonably well for a reasonable budget. I do like the look of the military style travel bags but (that's) moving into the expensive side of things - and it's just a kit that will mostly sit about getting the occasional use.

As ever, thanks for everyone's help!

Techs are cheap and easy to get hold of and earlier ones are brass so should be pretty durable. As Damian said they fit into an Altoids tin for protection. Palmolive sticks are cheap and leak-proof and Yaqi sell cheap synthetic brushes that have a good reputation and will dry quickly.
 
When I travel I take disposable razors and a Palmolive stick, (that's) it, not even a brush, I rub the Palmolive through wet hands like a bar of soap and rub it in, does just as good a job.
I have to add this applies to holidays, I have better things I want to do than faff with a big shave.
If you travel for work regularly you could always look into making your own, get some material and plan what you want to go where.

@GordyC I've got some tubes with snap on lids which are about 10.5cm long by 4.5cm diameter which are pretty good for keeping a brush in to save it getting battered. I drilled one with holes to aid brush drying - if you'd like a couple PM my your address and I'll get 'em in the post to you (the one's we get at work now are white and it'll be un-drilled).
