Floris London Briarwood & Gold Plate 3 Piece Shaving Set
Do away with disposable razors - your skin and your bathroom shelf deserve better. Best known for their clean, fresh fragrances, Floris London’s shaving set is a true investment piece and comes complete with lifetime guarantee. The badger hair shaving brush is a traditional gentleman’s essential, and the hand-made briarwood handles are naturally elegant. Paired with 24ct gold, the set brings a little luxury to your daily routine.
£492.00, www.florislondon.com.

Rodial Dragon’s Blood Velvet Cream
There’s something that feels both Neolithic and New Age about putting something called ‘dragon’s blood’ on your face, but the results Rodial’s moisturiser produces are worth raising a few eyebrows for. The ‘blood’ refers to an intense red resin drawn from plants in the dracaena species, and has been used for thousands of years for its healing properties. Rodial’s Velvet Cream is an intensely moisturising miracle-worker, perfect for patting on pre-flight or post-holiday to maintain healthy, supple skin.
£75.00, www.rodial.co.uk.

Buly 1803 Opiat Dentaire
Buly 1803’s toothpaste is guaranteed to put a smile on your face in more ways than one. The beautiful packaging draws on the charms of a serpent bearing its own (perfectly polished) fangs, and the cucumber, mint, apple and coriander infusion is refreshing and effective. The Parisian brand has, as the name suggests, been going for two decades and focus on modern interpretations of classic products. Much cooler than a tube of Colgate.
£24.00, www.mrporter.com.

Craftsman Soap Co. Hops Flower Beard Oil
Beard oil might seem like one step too far for many, but Craftsman Soap Co’s is lighter than most - and more effective. A careful blend of oils including Argan, Jojoba, Rosehip, Grapeseed, Meadowfoam and Vitamin E creates a base for the predominant scent of hops (don’t worry, it won’t make you smell like beer), grapefruit and black pepper, and the delicious combination takes care of both dry skin and flyaways without clogging your pores.
$20.00, www.craftsmansoapco.com.

Eisenberg Lifting Mask
Jet lag is a bastard at the best of times, but worse is the way it can play havoc on your skin. Dehydration from air-blasted cabins, lack of rest, pressure from altitude and one too many gin and tonics before take off; it’s easy to see why even when you’re over the jet lag, your skin may not be. Enter, Eisenberg’s lifting mask, which smooths away wrinkles, rehydrates and plumps skin back to its former glory. In a 75ml tube, it’s also hand-luggage friendly, so you can fight the effects of long haul flights before you’ve even touched down.
€77.00, www.eisenberg.com.

Ettinger Travel Shoe Horn in Black and Silver
One of those items that makes you wonder how no one came up with it before, Ettinger’s pocket-sized, travel-ready shoe horn means wearing your bespoke Edward Greens on the plane need not result in an embarrassing fight with your own footwear on arrival. It also happens to be much more chic than any your hotel are likely to provide, with its flawless Bridle Hide leather pouch and foldable function.
£65.00, rake.webdezign.uk.

Hermès Rocabar Fragrance
It doesn’t get much more sophisticated than Hermès scent, and when travelling to far flung corners of the world a dab of your favourite fragrance can instantly make you feel at home, refresh the senses and leave a signature scent in your wake. Rocabar has full-bodied notes of cypress, and a heady mix of wood, balms and resins, a subtle but smooth fragrance described by Head Perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena as “a fragrant for wanderers drawn to wide-open spaces”. Spritz behind the ears for a long-lasting aroma.
£83.00, www.hermes.com.

George Cleverley 1786 Russian Hide Wash Bag
Uncomplicated and refined, The Rake’s George Cleverley Russian Hide collection is made with extremely rare and limited edition leather salvaged from an 18th century shipwreck. The grain effect varies from product to product, such is the nature of the leather, so each piece is unique and distinguished. The generous boxy shape also means there’s plenty of room for your essentials and fits compactly into your carry-on.
£795.00, rake.webdezign.uk.
