Kit: Frequent Flyer

Travel is irritating enough without razor burn. Braun’s innovative CoolTec electric razors use a revolutionary aluminum cooling bar in the center of the razor head — based on the same technology that provides climate control in spaceships — that actually cools skin while you shave. The result is a shave that’s buttery smooth and refreshingly cool, even if your flight isn’t. CoolTec is available at Best Buy.

Just the right size and made of canvas and leather, this dopp kit from Billy Reid will hold everything you need whether you’re headed to Florence, Alabama, or the slightly more appealing one in Italy.

Don’t fret. These excellent noise-canceling headphones sound a lot better than the fax machine they were apparently named after. They’re supremely comfortable and have effective active noise canceling, but their real party trick is a built-in headphone amp that vaults sound quality miles past competitors.

Small, Connecticut-based Lotuff Leather is full of immensely skilled men and women busy making stunning leather goods. Their Small Duffle is no exception. The bag is just the right size for a quick getaway and, over time, the leather will look as well-traveled as you. In a good way, we mean.

“I’m traveling” is not an excuse to throw on your school-spirit sweatsuit while flip flopping yourself down the jetway.

Suitsupply’s lightweight, unstructured Copenhagen jacket will be comfortable for a flight and stows away neatly.

Ditch your outlet dependency with this robust portable battery from Mophie. The sleek box holds a 6000mAh battery (roughly 4 times bigger than your iPhone 5) and boasts two USB ports for charging your smartphone and tablet simultaneously. You’ll be able to keep that Breaking Bad marathon going strong all the way through your Newark-to-Singapore flight.

House your most important possessions in style — and with ease — with this handsome wallet. It tastefully covers your passport while providing two slots of business or frequent flier cards and even includes a pin to deal with those irritating customs forms you never understand anyway.
