A travel checklist

For those of you who are meticulous when you travel, I've included a checklist of things to take on your next trip. You can print this out and adapt as necessary, so you don't forget anything.

Travel Check List (N.B. 3oz or less if you want to check it in and Ziploc is key)

Soap face wash (Clinique has the best one for men)
Toothbrush (Try Elydian - don't take a motorized one)
Toothpaste (Fresh Umbrian clay or Marvis)
Mint flossers (Get the disposable toothpick variety - they're great!)
Mouthwash (Listerine)
Pre-shave oil (Art of Shaving or Truefitt & Hill)
Shaving Cream (Geo Trumper)
Razor (Invest in this)
Mach 3 blades (Don't buy in Edison or at ethnic stores -- you'll get a better price but many are made in the Philippines and don't seem to work as well)
Kiehl’s Hydrating lotion (Awesome -- never put alcohol on your face)
Astringent (Anthony's or Clinique - find out your scruffing lotion strength and then buy the women's bottle -- same price, same stuff, but bigger bottle)
Cotton balls (for taking away grease)
Q-Tips (Love these- but be gentle)
Hair/nose trimmer (Ok guys - you don't want to look like the Geico caveman)
Hairbrush (Use Kiehl's or Mason Pearson)
Medicines – if prescription, pack a few extra
First aid kid (include Band-Aids, Imodium, Tylenol)
Passport – if necessary
Pen with enough ink (ball pen or gel tip - if you use real ink, you're screwed on flights)
Business cards (take these to network and to hand to colleagues)
Computer cords for cell, computer, blackberry, I-pod (if you forget these, know that any hotel front desk usually has a huge box with extra cords - a number of people leave these behind)
Cell/I-pod/computer
Shure 530 pth headphones (the best sound that 500 bucks will buy you)
Charged I-Pod (c'mon - the world's a dull place - don't you want music?)
Underwear (Can't tell you how many guys forget to pack this on trips)

Deodorant/antiperspirant (Gillette makes the best)

Lip Balm (Jack black is amazing)

Pajamas (many guys forget to pack these too)
Socks (bring extra)
Belt (brown or black, depending on what you plan to wear)
Cufflinks (if cuffed shirts)
Ties
Collar stays
Nailclippers
Powder (Try Dr. Hauschka)
Aftershave (ask for free samples in high end stores and use these when you travel)
Shirts (always take one extra)
Trousers (pack one extra)
Suits (pack one extra)
Tide/Shout wipes (for ketchup & mustard)
Small pack of paper tissue
Lotion for dry skin (I can't tell you, especially in winter, how dry skin can itch)
Call Amex or other credit card co, if you are traveling internationally

Alum block (for cuts and scrapes)

Shades

Remember that if you forget some essentials, most hotels can give you a t/brush and t/paste and even shaving cream - but be prepared to cut your face in several places with those disposable razors. Also, be sure to carry a few extra ziplock bags - they come in handy for liquids.

This may seem like a lot, but I've got it down to a science. I never have to ever think when I pack for travel.
