Whether you're a seasoned globetrotter or planning your first international adventure, packing smart is as crucial as your itinerary.

Amongst those smart choices is considering how your grooming habits, especially shaving, will adapt to your new surroundings. This is especially important if you have sensitive skin that reacts poorly to changes. So, let's discuss the travel essentials and how to shave with sensitive skin while you're on the move.

The cornerstone of your grooming kit will be a reliable razor. Look for one that has a travel-friendly design, like the Braun Series 3, which has a Smart Plug for automatic voltage adjustment. This will enable you to charge your shaver anywhere in the world without any trouble.

Even with a smart voltage razor, don't forget a universal travel adapter. This small device is a lifesaver that ensures you can plug your electronics into any socket, regardless of the country you are visiting.

Many brands offer travel-sized versions of their products, which are a big space-saver. Look for mini versions of your favorite aftershave, moisturizer, and shaving cream.

These are light, easy to pack and dry quickly, making them perfect for the on-the-go traveler.

Keep all your grooming essentials organized in a travel case. It's easier to find what you need and reduces the risk of anything leaking into your suitcase.

Now that you've packed smart, it's time to address the matter of shaving with sensitive skin.

Here are some tips:

Preparation: Start by washing your face with warm water to soften your beard and open up your pores. You can also use a pre-shave oil to further soften the beard and add an extra layer of protection between your skin and the razor.

Use a Gentle Shaver: Shaving can be harsh on your skin, and if your skin is sensitive, it's even more critical to use a shaver that's designed for it. The Braun Series 3, for instance, is designed to be efficient and gentle on the skin, making it a good option for sensitive skin.

Shaving Cream/Gel: Opt for a shaving cream or gel that is designed for sensitive skin. These products are typically alcohol-free and contain ingredients that can soothe and hydrate your skin.

Post-Shave Care: After shaving, rinse your face with cool water to close your pores, then pat your face dry gently. Apply an alcohol-free aftershave balm or lotion to hydrate and soothe the skin.

Hydrate: Traveling can dehydrate your skin. Drink plenty of water and use a good moisturizer to keep your skin healthy.

Rest your Skin: Try to give your skin a break and shave less frequently if you can. Your skin will appreciate the respite.

Remember, the key to comfortable travel, especially for those with sensitive skin, is preparation. Equip yourself with the right tools and knowledge to maintain your grooming routine on the road. Safe travels and smooth shaves, gents!
