Colonel Conk's Styptic Pencil works great. I just bought a My Nik Is Sealed roll-on styptic pencil that I haven't used yet (damn I need a shave), but will update you all after I've tried it.

It seemed like a silly waste of duplicate items when I could just pull things from my bathroom drawer instead of having to own two. I didn't really "get it" until this post. Now I do. Thanks!

There is nothing worse than opening up your Dopp bag and finding shampoo all over everything. Also, don't forget to stash any prescription medications you take on a regular basis in your Dopp and leave them there. That way you have some available if you forget to pack them before your trip. Just remember to rotate them out every few months.

It doesn't take up any space, it's a non-aerosol and gives the best shave. Also earplugs are a must. I never leave home without Ozeoil shaving oil.

I always have an extra cell phone charger that I keep for the sole purpose of traveling and stays in my Dopp. If you're like me you always seem to find yourself in the position where I'm buying a $60 charger once I get to my destination because you forgot to pack one.

Like others, I recommend Q-tips, Gold Bond, and a good facial lotion. However, I am not one for adding shoe polishing items in my Dopp. I recommend a separate, small polish kit to pack for keeping shoes looking good.
