All Natural Shaving Oil by Pacific Shaving Company

Berit Thorkelson — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 19:53:57 +0000

One hundred smooth shaves in one wee half-ounce bottle. Great for daily use, but since it meets TSA carryon restrictions, no need to keep a travel-sized shave foam stashed in your travel toiletry kit (or struggle with hotel bar soap when leg-shaving shaving, ladies). Not only does this mean fewer cans of shaving cream in the landfill, for every bottle bought, a tree is planted.

Paqit Towlettes

Love these new wipes for freshening on the go. They’re biodegradable and scented with essential oils—half are spicy-orangey bergamot (meant for hands and body) and the other half are fresh yuzu citrus (meant for face and neck). Perfect post-flight.

BONUS: Flight 001’s having a supersale to celebrate its 10th birthday through this Sunday, April 19th—30 percent off all purchases over $50. (Use the promo code “birthday” online.) Of course, you’d have to buy two of these to get the discount, which effectively knocks them each down under $20. One for you, one for your traveling friend.

Flat Pocket Mirror by Tokyo Milk

Because phrasebooks too often leave out, “Is anything stuck in my teeth?”

Slim 9-in-1 Microtool

Berit Thorkelson — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 12:50:06 +0000

The well organized urbanite’s answer to the Swiss Army knife: a mini screwdriver, file, scissors, toothpick, knife, tweezers, pin, pen and ruler, all swiftly pluckable from their thick credit card-like home. As with the aforementioned knife, don’t try to carry this on, kids.

Sanitizing razor travel case by Violight

Berit Thorkelson — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 13:02:41 +0000

The makers of the sanitizing toothbrush cases have just launched a similar product for your preferred shaving utensil. Prevents skin bumps and irritation by zapping, with UV light, up to 99.9% of your razor’s bacteria between uses. Sleek. Super sanitary.

Imported French Creme Perfume Set by Fragonard

Berit Thorkelson — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 12:53:22 +0000

No worries about liquid carryon restrictions or breakage resulting in all your clothes and belongings smelling way too pretty. Great price for so many lovely little luxuries, oui?

TSA-Compliant Toiletry Bag by Flybags

Berit Thorkelson — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 13:49:57 +0000

What differentiates this carryon-friendly clear quart-sized plastic baggie stand-in from the others now on the market? It comes bearing not only little 2.5-ounce product bottles, but an eye mask and a set of ear plugs to help you catch some Zs (or discourage seatmate chattiness). Also? It’s trimmed in leather. Fancy.

Face travel toothbrush cap

Berit Thorkelson — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 13:03:11 +0000

So Japanese, this toothbrush cap, for its smart little suction-cup back and total adorableness. A smiley face? Yes, please. If there’s anything I took away from my time living in Japan, it’s a better appreciation for anthropomorphism. Also: a sushi addiction, a deeper knowledge of what it really means to be hospitable and the ability to say I was once lead singer in a Japanese cover band.

Toiletry tube by GoToob

Berit Thorkelson — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 14:26:45 +0000

Pretty TSA-friendly silicone tubes with a wide opening, for easy filling. Select the correct contents label to display in the ID window—key, since most toiletries look the same naked. Love the little suction cup on the medium size, for sticking temporarily to tile for hands-free dispensing.

Nuun natural hydration

Berit Thorkelson — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 14:12:23 +0000

Portable tablets that transform an unassuming glass of water into a great-tasting, electrolyte-laden, carb- and sugar-free drink. Like popular sports “ade”s, but without the toxic colors and sugars. They dissolve quickly, sans fizz, and travel fantastically in their little plastic tube, ready for any vacation hydration situation (extreme heat, illness, mega hike, hangover). I’m a big fan of the Orange Ginger flavor.
