If you want to plan everything first, book later - read the reviews, choose an area/beach/place, click on the appropriate links, turn on the price filters and pick up accommodation already focussed, without wasting time "shooting birds with guns at sparrows. Options for your favorite accommodation immediately save in your online bookmarks so that when the time comes to book, you don't have to waste time looking for it again. If you are used to combining the search and booking - bookmark our reviews "Where to stay" so that when you are ready to book everything you have at hand, follow the scheme described above. This approach will simplify and speed up the process. At this point, it's essential to get more or less like a final draft budget.  yourtravelitinerary.com

Since I'm using only synthetics, I take one of those with me I'll be shaving out for a few days or what not.
  I usually don't take my favorite in case something happens.
   Take a shaving stick with me and a synthetic brush, decent razor, a few blades and a little plastic dispenser, I'm pretty good to go.

I do not travel very often these days, but when doing so, I use an inexpensive synthetic brush.

1. The brush is inexpensive ($10). If I accidentally leave it in a hotel room, I have not lost much.
2. Synthetic fibers do not hold moisture. Thus, the brush will dry quickly and will be less likely to develop mold and mildew.

Some people use travel brushes that then to be small diameter (under 20 mm) to minimize space in their luggage. I do not like using small brushes, so my "travel" brush has a 24 mm knot.

Someone lent me a folding brush once, but I don't like the feel of the tube as a handle. I've also tried a few of the small synthetics (e.g., the Maggards 18 mm) and none has really worked for me. So I just invested in a Wee Scot. With just one shave I've determined that I made the right call.

I’ve never used an actual travel Brush. When traveling I always pack my Muhle Synthetic Fibre Shave Brush, lathers like a beast and dries quickly. This is my go to when I take a trip.

I have a 26mm synth for travel. I used to keep a short handled 24mm synth, but the pill bottle I got from CVS for it was much larger than the brush. When I realized I could fit a normal handled 26, I figured why not. More luxury on the go.

Like others, I drilled small holes to allow breathability. It works great. Now if I could just take more vacations... Lol.

Yes and no, most of the time I travel with a full size synthetic, I only use my collapsible EJ brush when I do carry on only but I also have it with my Trac II handle as you can't carry DE blades

Aha!  My travel brush might make a comeback!  Usually when I carry on I just use a brushless cream.

I have a cheap synthetic that I use when I travel. Keeps me from packing one of my high-end brushes.
