Dopp Kit

After many years I finally picked up a Dopp kit style bag. The Dopp kit name comes from an early 20th century leather craftsman Charles Doppelt who invented this style of toiletry case in 1919. I have had a variety of similar bags over the years but this is the first Dopp kit “ready” travel bag. Aside from my electric shaver, everything is ready to go at a moment’s notice. All of the product is pre-packed.

What do I have in the bag?

In the top compartment, I store the following items in zip lock bags. In the rightmost zip lock bag:

• Toothpaste
• Mouthwash
• Floss

In the middle zip lock bag:

• Shower gel
• Shampoo
• Facial wash
• Facial mosturizer
• Shaving oil

And in the leftmost zip lock bag:

• Deodorant
• Hand Sanitizer
• Sunscreen

I also have a bottle of Advil.

In the lower compartment, I store the following items:

• Toothbrush (in a zip lock bag)
• Q-tips (also in a zip lock bag)
• Electric shaver
• Charger for the electric shaver
• Fingernail clippers
• Toenail clippers
• Safety scissors
• 8GB USB jump drive

The jump drive contains an electronic copy of any relevant travel documents — things like scanned passports, hotel confirmations, e-tickets.
