The thing you need from a toiletry bag is space. This Bellroy Toiletry Kit is spacious, with an almost overwhelming number pouches and pockets. It even has a magnetized divider made for your electric toothbrush. It’s a great way to force yourself to be organized. It doesn’t look half bad in Navy either.

Dange Dover frequently makes it onto our lists of best bags for being lightweight and utilitarian. The Seoul Dopp kit is no exception. It is equipped with multiple pockets (some mesh, some open) and it has a spinning hook on the inside that lets you hang the bag in your hotel room. It doesn’t all spill out either, so not every item needs to be zippered up—giving you an extra flexibility that not all hanging toiletry bags earn.

Flying dehydrates you, straight up. So you need a moisturizer wherever you go and preferably one with SPF to keep your skin from catching harmful rays. This one from Marlowe is made with cocoa and shea butters combined with aloe vera for maximum hydration. It’s about as no-nonsense as face lotion for men gets.
Of course you need a toothbrush and that honking electric thing isn’t going to fit. That doesn’t mean you can’t get something good.
This one from Quip (maker of our favorite electric flosser), is a battery-powered electric toothbrush that comes with a travel case. That case doubles as a toothbrush holder and can be mounted to any hotel mirror. It’s compact and versatile, making it the perfect electric toothbrush for travel.

It’s always nice to have a fragrance (or two) that you love on hand in your toiletry bag.
Lately, we’ve been really into Le Labo colognes. This discovery set comes with three scents so you always have options no matter where in the world you find yourself waking up.
It’s never a bad idea to bring travel shampoo and body wash, but chances are wherever you are staying has that taken care of for you—even in an Air BnB. But we love the soap bar instead. Having an extra bar of soap is just kinda of an all-around good idea, especially if you find yourself stuck in an airport.

Enough with the haphazard tossing of your nail clippers into your toiletry bag at the last minute. It’s time for a dedicated travel nail kit. This one from Manscaped only costs $25 and it comes with fingernail clipper, a toenail clipper, a file, tweezers, and scissors. All inside a vegan leather traveling case that will fit inside of your dopp kit.
A comb or brush (depending on your hair length and texture) is the final essential to throw in your bag. This Machete beard comb has two sides. We find the finer side is perfect for beard coming while the other, wider tooth side works for hair (as long as yours isn’t too long or unruly—and for that you likely need a brush anyway). This makes it the perfect compact travel brush to through into your grooming kit.

If you’re an electric razor guy, the Harry’s kit isn’t for you. Instead, try this innovative compact shaver from Panasonic. It’s the same type of five-blade wet and dry razor you would normally see in a form factor twice its size.
It doesn’t have an amazing battery—you can get about an hour of use out of one hour of charge from a USB. It’s cool, but expensive. We only recommended to frequent business flyers who need to look their best for professional reasons.
