I suppose one reason it lasted well was that I didn't take it on any flights, due to it being too big for carry-on, but that accounts for a measly 35 or so out of the last 730 days.

That is impressive!

I have the perfect solution for Skin Food and airline travel. When I first started using Trumper products, back in the day (2006 I think), I requested and received a free samples pack from them which included two small bottles of skin food - Coral and Limes. Both were used up pretty quick, but they make perfect travel bottles for the stuff ..... I use them all the time. Just wash them out when they go empty, let them air dry for a couple of days and fill 'em up for the next go round.

Where there's a will there's a way.

Aah, the days of free samples. That sample pack looks to be eight quid now.

On our recent trip to Iceland/Scotland/England I just decided to check my bag. This kind of made my extensive research into what to take in a tiny carry-on version of a dopp kit enjoyable, yet futile.

I took a 100ml bottle of Limes with me (everything I had was carry-on approved anyway - razor was an old brass handle and Trac II cartridges).

I stopped in at the Trumpers on Curzon Street, I should have asked, all innocent like, if they had any samples to hand out. . .I would have stumped up the eight quid at a push.
