Dual compartment, large or hanging
A dual compartment bag keeps shaving gear apart from bottles, so a leaking bottle never soaks the toothbrush. The large bag goes further, with a compartment kept for the towel that is still damp on departure morning. The hanging bag hooks onto a door or a towel rail and works as a shelf in bathrooms with no counter space. The nylon dopp kit is the simplest: one zipped compartment, in four colors.
PU leather or nylon, both made for the bathroom
PU leather does not mind sink water or shaving foam, and a damp sponge is all it needs. Nylon is a soft fabric that folds into the bottom of a bag. The PU models handle splashes but are not meant to be submerged; only the MR86 is listed as waterproof.
Which size for which trip
For a weekend with few bottles, a bag 25 to 27 cm long fits next to your clothes in a weekender bag. For a week, or for two people, the large bag, 18.6 cm high, holds shower gel, shampoo, shaving foam and a small rolled towel. Where the name comes from: read what is a dopp kit.
