Mens Wash Bag Essentials

A well-curated toiletries bag is as important as a carefully considered skincare routine. When it comes to schlepping your favourite grooming products on weekend jaunts or business trips, a flimsy plastic bag from the drugstore just won’t cut it. You need something that’s primed for travel, spacious enough to hold everything you need and—most importantly—pretty to look at.

Thankfully, the right wash bag is easy to find. Instead of the tired black and brown leather versions that populate most shop shelves, look for one in a supple vegetable-tanned leather with a natural feel that will age gracefully over time, like this model from Bennett Winch. It’s finely embossed with the brand’s signature logo and secures with two metal zips running across the top of the bag’s front panel.

If you have a beard, don’t forget to pack a quality beard oil to keep it tamed and healthy, too. A nourishing formula like this from Grooming Solutions Nourishing Beard Grooming Oil tames coarse facial hair, smoothes it and nourishes the skin underneath so it looks and feels refreshed. And last but not least, don’t forget a solid aftershave to get the most out of your shave. This cologne-free formula from Bottega Veneta is formulated with shea butter and chestnut extract to leave skin feeling refueled, energized and revitalized. mens wash bag
