Very much on the Go, so shaving from the GoBag.
In my line of work I often have to get on the Go – usually for training or exercises – and as such I keep my GoBag packed at all times.
A major issue when it comes to the GoBag is space; if something don’t fit in the bag, it means it either dont come with or something else must be taken out… with that in mind, and after a bit of experimentation, I have put together a small yet comprehensive travel kit that not only fit in there, but gives me a DFS too.
While I might still change a thing or two, this is what’s in my GoBag:
All in all a fraction of the stuff in my den, but I still get better shaves than the electric and cartridge crowd.

Pre-shave: Dr Bronners Liquid Eucalyptus
Lather: Crabtree & Evelyn Sandalwood
Brush: Semogue TSN 2012 LE
Razors: Racer and Yuma, both with a unmarked blade
Post-shave: Cold water rinse, Alum block and Kramperts Finest Bay Rum
Last shave in my den for a while, but it was a DFS. Both the Racer and the Yuma are great performers considering their price.
Pre-shave: Warm rinse
Lather: Arko shaving stick and Arko Cool Mint Cream
Brush: Turkish No6
Razors: Unknown (possible Merkur) German Bakelite Slant with a Wilkinson Sword
Post-shave: Cold water rinse, alum and Krampert’s Finest Bay Rum
Last shave for now with an interesting slant – and a DFS it was. Mixing the Arko stick and cream gave a very, very dense lather, requiring quite a bit of dipping of the brush.
Pre-shave: Dr Bronner’s liquid soap, Orange
Lather: Prairie Creations Walter shaving soap (lemon)
Brush: Semogue TSN 2012 LE boar-badger brush
Razors: Unknown (possible Merkur) German Bakelite Slant with a Wilkinson Sword
Post-shave: Cold water rinse, alum and Krampert’s Finest Bay Rum
Another DFS with an interesting razor – mild for a slant, yet picky about the angle.
Pre-shave: Dr Bronner’s liquid Tea Tree Oil
Lather: Prairie Creations KISS Tea Tree Cream
Brush: Vie-Long 14033 mixed horse-badger brush
Razors: Unknown (possible Merkur) German Bakelite Slant with a fresh Wilkinson Sword
Post-shave: Cold water rinse, alum and Krampert’s Finest Bay Rum
Back in my own den, and trying the NOS German bakelite slant for the first time. It’s a featherweight sledgehammer – mild and efficient. Gave a DFS too…
Pre-shave: Dr Bronner’s liquid Peppermint
Lather: Lea shavestick and Arko Cool Ice cream
Brush: Body Shop Synthetic
Razors: Merkur 985CL with a Lord Platinum, and Cadet TTO-13 with a Wilkinson Sword
Post-shave: Cold water rinse, travel sized alum stick and Krampert’s Finest Bay Rum
Last shave from the GoBag for a little while – mixed lather performed as well today as it did last week. A DFS all told, but I’m happy to head home and change things up a bit more again.
