Men’s travel accessories for the well-groomed wanderer
Summer is fast approaching, and with it comes holidays and adventure. But there’s one part of planning a trip away that’s never fun; packing. You’d pay someone else to do it if you could, but gone are the days when your Mum would remember everything you needed, plus the kitchen sink. It’s up to you now. So we thought we’d give you a little help.
Now, these aren’t the type of things you’d (necessarily) pack for a week-long trek through Snowdonia. We’re thinking more along the lines of lounging around restaurants in Rome, going for casual bicycle tours in Amsterdam and visiting swanky bars in Copenhagen. Places where you want to have a ball, but maintain a well-groomed and stylish look at the same time. Here are the tools you’ll need to achieve both.
Muhle Travel Shaving Brush
If you like to keep it clean and sharp at all times, you can’t go wrong travelling with a collapsable shaving brush. Muhle have brought out a synthetic silvertip fibre travel brush with a black anodized aluminium handle that also acts as a case. When you’re ready to pack up and head to your next destination, simple unscrew the brush head and slip it down into the handle cavity. Pop the lid on and you’re good to go! No matter how much your bag is banged around during transit, your brush bristles won’t be damaged. The silvertip fibres are also made for quick-drying purposes for further convenience.
The Bearded Bastard Beard Oil Travel Pack
If you’re a man that prefers to keep a luscious beard, T
he Bearded Bastard Beard Oil Travel Pack is the perfect companion for your ventures. Pick one miniature bottle of beard oil or pack the whole tin. There are five scents to choose from, and the tin is a handy container for other knick-knacks that you pick up along the way. Beard oil will keep your facial hair and skin from getting brittle and itchy in dry, hot weather. Perfect for those trips to the Mediterranean!
Zeus Travel Shampoo
If you’re heading to Southern Europe or the Asia Pacific for Summer, you might often get back to your hotel after a day of exploring feeling sweaty and dirty. Just as you’d wash your body and hair before heading back out for dinner and a night on the town, it’s important not to forget about your beard too!
Zeus Travel Beard Shampoo is perfectly sized to pop in your toiletry bag for those times when your beard needs a good scrub to rid it of the days grime. The chamomile and green tea extract present in the ingredients are also perfect for soothing skin (heavenly when you’ve experienced sunburn!).
Zeus Pocket Beard Brush
Is the humidity at your holiday destination making your beard hair frizz in an untamed fashion? This can be super frustrating, especially when you’ve put oil through it, and it still won’t sit the way you want. The
Zeus Boar Bristle Pocket Beard Brush will assist you in achieving a polished finish to your beard, without the scratchiness that other bristled brushes tend to have. It’ll evenly distribute oils for a natural shine. After use, place it in its cloth bag to prevent bristle damage or it catching on other items in your luggage.
Layrite Original Hair Pomade
Ditch the large and clunky tub of hair wax for the
Layrite’s travel-sized Original Pomade. It’s the best of both worlds because it holds firmly, like a wax, but washes out easily with water, like a gel. It’s the most convenient styling product on-the-go. Layrite’s pomade is made to tame hair of all types: thick, thin, curly or straight. It can be used to achieve a range of hairstyles that will hold through even the windiest of weather!
Marvis Toothpaste
Toothpaste: that necessity that often has you Googling the nearest convenience store when you reach your destination, because you forgot to pack it again. But
Marvis is a toothpaste worth remembering. Stick with classic, refreshing mint or branch out and choose a fun flavour to reflect your getaway experience. Amarelli Licorice, anyone? You’re on holidays, after all, it’s time for a treat.
Muhle Travel Manicure Set
There’s nothing quite like the sting when you tear a nail down to the quick. If your nail snags and rips, it can be difficult to smooth it back down so that it doesn’t keep happening. That’s unless you have the right tools, of course. The
Muhle Travel Manicure Set is a man’s understated secret weapon. It includes nail scissors, clippers, tweezers and a file, all set securely in a masculine genuine cowhide case. Needless to say, it comes in handy for more than just a manicure. How often have you been out and about and needed a pair of scissors? Or some tweezers to grab that one stray beard hair or pesky splinter? Make like a boy scout and be prepared with this practical set!
Bellroy Travel RFID Wallet
Rest assured that you’ve got all of your necessary documentation under control and protected with
Bellroy’s RFID blocking travel wallet. It’ll fit your passport, money, boarding passes, eight cards and even includes a mini travel pen. It’s made out of genuine leather, with a slimline appearance to easily fit in your coat or pants pocket. No more frantic rustling around in your bag at customs for your documents; everything is securely kept together.
