I usually have my travel shit together, at least when it comes to packing. However, I often find myself without nail clippers for some reason. I can't tell you how many pairs of nail clippers I've bought in the last few years of constant business travel. Luckily, they're cheap.
This trip though I forgot the handle of my razor, bringing only a pack of blades. I was going to head over to a pharmacy before some meetings here, but I never ended up with time, and so I discovered that one of the virtues of the Gillette Fusion razor blade is that the part that mounts to the handle is actually big enough to hold comfortably. So comfortable in fact that on space-limited trips I might leave the handle at home. I haven't yet figured out how to make the blade vibrate without the battery powered handle—jumping up and down does not seem prudent—but I'm working on it.
Yes, I know that most hotels have razors at the front desk. The single-bladed plastic torture items that pass for razors do not do good things to my face. It's better to go to most meetings with stubble than with toilet paper stuck to recent wounds.
