Braun M90 Foil Shaver
Shavers don’t come much niftier than this offering from Braun. It’s super compact, washable and battery powered, meaning you can easily defuzz your face anywhere.

OK honestly these are still at the Kickstarter stage, but we’re psyched for a pair of these. They don’t just look cool AF, they’re also made from recycled plastic. In fact, their raison d’etre is to take as much waste plastic and turn them into cool looking shades.

Spend too much time looking for a plug socket to recharge that damn phone? Search no more my friend… Anker are the trusted name in battery packs and the PowerCore 20100 has two USB ports, includes fast charging capabilities and can charge a smartphone up to 7 times. A truly essential travel accessory for any guy (or gal).
Wool sneakers
These cool sneakers are a made entirely from wool! But that makes them breathable, versatile and durable, meaning you can wear them all day without getting sweaty feet. Another cool thing about wool shoes is that you don’t need to wear socks with them.
Baabuk’s wool shoes are also pretty cool and stylish and will work with any outfit. Perfect for the guy on the go.

Plain Tee
You know what goes with EVERYTHING… A plain white or grey tee. You’ll always look stylish and even if you’re wearing shorts, jeans or even a suit, a plain tee shirt will work.
Ditch the logos. Ditch the slogans. Minimalism all the way my friend….
Leather Shoulder Bag
If you want a bag that is going to last years, and will keep up with you when the going gets tough, invest in a good leather shoulder bag. A good leather bag should be treated with a light wax when you first buy it. It should then last a lifetime.
Modern leather bags come with compartments for laptops and tablets, pockets for documents and sturdy zips that won’t break off halfway round the world.
Bose Bluetooth Headphones
Good headphones are essential on the road, and these beauties from Bose don’t come much better. Being Bose, of course the sound quality is outstanding. And with the bluetooth functionality they’ll pair with your devices easily. They also come with a cable if you need to connect to a non-bluetooth device such as a laptop.
Oh another thing… They’re noise cancelling. Very important on busy trains, planes and automobiles. Just don’t miss your announcement!
Inflatable pillow
Lets be honest, we all get caught up in bad travelling from time to time. It might be delays, it could be strikes… When you get caught up and there’s no way out, you want to make sure you can at least get some shut eye! An inflatable pillow to hand is crucial to being able to get a bit of shut eye when its all gone to pot. Playboys need their sleep too (sometimes).
