If I was travelling light then the Palmolive, brush, razor and blades would suffice me.Not sure why anyone would take ordinary soap on holiday with them unless staying on a campsite, as hotels have soap in the rooms, unless staying in some ropey doss hole in Kings Cross or something, where the lack of soap is the least of your problems… When off on my travels, if staying a night or two, I take a cheap shaving cream like Palmolive or Arko, a small amount of decanted Proraso pre-shave, a cheap brush like a Yaqi synthetic, a cheap Turkish copper bowl, alum block, a tuck of blades, a razor guaranteed not to do me any damage like a Muhle R89, and some decanted balm. If staying more than a few days, I’ll end up taking two or three razors (as I’m indecisive) and maybe some better quality gear, depending on the chances of things getting damaged or lost. And some aftershave if the other half is with me! Actually, if I’m staying a few days I end up taking too much shaving stuff and not having enough room for other essentials….
The reason been is, certain soaps dry my skin, whereas Dove soap (as I decided to try the Dove soap rather than Pears on the previous pages) does not, also I can wash with this and shave with it. Also with the Dove soap (with it having moisturises in it) even after rinsing my face it leaves it nice and soft, pretty much as if I had used a shave balm. And lastly the Dove soap is really cheap as well.Not sure why anyone would take ordinary soap on holiday with them unless staying on a campsite, as hotels have soap in the rooms.
Tube of Trumper’s plus the matching skin food, Simpsons Chubby 2 and a damn good razor. When I go away on holiday, I want to feel my absolute pampered best so I’ll use the poshest gear I’ve got. Apart from that, I rarely travel. Travel? That’s like uh, going to the shops, aye? Naw, don’t do that much.
Matron. MATRON! Where’s the ruddy menace gone now? Ah, there you are my dear. The yellow pils, if you please. And could you remove the rubber tube and steel funnel? Can’t travel with that hanging out, what, what.
Matron has something similar which she calls Pandora’s box. I told her it wasn’t Pandora’s, it was Matron’s. That box should certainly never, never, ever be opened! Not again, please God, not again.Paul Daniels bought the last one. There are small pieces of Debbie in each compartment. You're gonna like it, but not a lot.
