GENTS: what's in your toiletries bag when on the road, like?

forzaborza [Edit] [Delete] 46 replies 15:31, 15 February '13

I keep it simple...

1 tin anti-perspirant (any branded one)
1 tin Lynx Africa
1 bottle Lynx shower gel (any)
1 body scourer (yeah, that's right)
1 tube Sensodyne toothpaste
toothbrush

- No hairstyling products necessary
- No shampoo needed as shower gel's fine
- No aftershave, got the Africa, innit
- No shaving products required unless trip is longer than a week
- No skincare products of any kind. Pointless.

Shoot...

A sum total of...

...toothbrush + razor.

Not even those two if I'm going for less than a week - not down with the modern 'metrosexual' tbh tbf.

my overnight bag currently contains:

Anti-perspirant
Shaving gel
Razor
Hair wax
Moisturiser and hydrocortisone cream (eczema-centric)

I've got toothbrush, toothpaste, shower gel and shampoo where I was staying last night but otherwise they'd be in there too.

Toothbrush

Toothpaste (Colgate)
Floss (Asda own brand)
Face wash (Moulton Brown)
Face protector stuff (Body Shop)
Deodorant (Sure for men roll on)
Razor (Wilkinson Sword)
Hair stuff (Redken dry wax)
Stuff that makes me smell nice (Giorgio Armani something or other)

Shower gel and shampoo are expensive, heavy and usually supplied by the hotel. If it's a budget hotel I'll take my own shampoo as I used the Premier Inn stuff once and it made my hair smell like it had recently been on fire.

A critique of forza's

1 tin anti-perspirant (any branded one) [fair dos]
1 tin Lynx Africa [wait what? antiperspirant and lynx?! How big is your washbag? Handbag sized?!? Holdall sized?!]

1 bottle Lynx shower gel (any) [showergell1 What's wrong with a little soap boy! GAY.]
1 body scourer (yeah, that's right) [yeah some bodies do need extra scouring to be fair]
1 tube Sensodyne toothpaste [sensodine hahaha GAY]
toothbrush [fair play here]

My own no nonsense list:
Toothbrush
Razor
Shaving brush
Antiperspirant

There's bound to be a bit of soap and toothpaste wherever you stay so no need to fuck around with that.

    - *clarification
      
      the book is about a small boy made of a bar of soap and he has adventures in some kind of bathroom-themed kingdom.

  Still angry?
  
  forzaborza @Ricky_Ronco | 15 Feb '13, 17:11 | X
  - does it work though, does the lynx affect get you loads of birds ?
    
    or do you just smell funny ?
    
    Ricky_Ronco @forzaborza | 15 Feb '13, 17:12 | X
    - Not loads.
      
      Probably about six a month.
      
      It's a very nice, distinctive smell. Genuinely no point in shelling out on expensive aftershaves. Anti-perspirant for the pits, Africa around the neck. Standard.
      
      forzaborza @Ricky_Ronco | 15 Feb '13, 17:14 | X
      
      Ricky_Ronco this'd this

  Reminds me of the smell of the changing rooms in school.
