Aesop x Rimowa Köln Travel Kit Is the Dream Dopp Kit

Luxury luggage brand Rimowa, known for its high-priced, high-end, hard-sided clamshell suitcases, has teamed up with Australian grooming goods producer Aesop to create one of the best collabs we’ve seen hit the travel industry since Away partnered with Dwyane Wade for a stunning luggage line. For the Aesop x Rimowa Köln Travel Kit, the designers and engineers at Rimowa created a custom-built aluminum case in the brand’s signature style, with a wooden inlay for added wow-factor and additional protection for the quality grooming goods stored within.

Aesop said of the collaboration with Rimowa, “Since 1898, Rimowa has been dedicated to expert travel solutions. Now defined by streamlined, lightweight, aluminum surfaces, their cases offer superior stability crafted to last. Köln represents a meeting of like minds — a collaboration to be enjoyed for years to come.”

Inside the handsome travel case is where the real stars of the party are (no offense to Rimowa’s outstanding outer design appearance). Aesop has provided a slew of miniature grooming products that can handle anything your trip throws at you. From shampoo and conditioner to skincare to oral care, Aesop has covered all the basics when it comes to travel grooming goodies, while Rimowa has all those goodies covered quite literally.

What’s Inside the Aesop x Rimowa Köln Travel Kit?

Here’s the full list of included products:

The Aesop x Rimowa Köln Travel Kit is available online starting October 26 and will retail for an estimated $500. But, before you run out and drop half a grand on this kit, understand that this is not a lightweight dopp kit that you can toss in your bag and go — it weighs over 3 pounds fully-loaded. And, if you’re thinking about bringing this kit through security, think again. The aluminum violates the TSA’s rules on liquids going through security in clear, quart-sized, zip-lock bags, so this kit is really only useful in a checked-bag scenario.

Finally (and sadly), this kit is only available for our European brothers. Americans will just have to pine over this travel beauty until the two brands come to their senses and bring the Aesop x Rimowa Köln Travel Kit stateside. Since our fellow Americans can’t quite get their hands on this yet, we suggest outfitting your own kit with these great travel grooming products.

Does beard growth oil work? What you should know
Man putting beard oil on his beard.

Growing the perfect beard is a lifelong quest for some, and though there are plenty of tips to help you grow a beard, sometimes you can benefit from a little outside intervention. You might have seen adverts for beard growth oil and wondered if that would help you grow a thicker and more lustrous beard, along with various other oils for softening or brushes and other tools to help maintain your skin.

There's a lot of options when it comes to the world of facial hair grooming, because for your beard to look full and well groomed, you need to not only trim it to the right shape but also make sure that both the hair and the skin of your face are well looked after and in good condition. You might also just need to be patient, as it can take some time for facial hair to grow in to the length that you want. The basic advice for growing in a beard that looks great are to give it time and make sure you're taking care of your health -- like getting enough sleep, eating a health diet, and taking exercise. But we all know we're supposed to do those things anyway, and there are some products that can help give your beard a nudge along the way.

How often should you change your razor blades?

It's a hassle and an annoyance, but when it comes to your daily shaving ritual something that you absolutely don't want to skip is changing out your razor blade. Trying to shave with a dull razor is bad for your skin and can cause razor bumps, plus creating a higher likelihood of problems like infections, and it will do a poor job of removing hair, resulting in a patchy shave. If you're not up for trying out a straight razor, then you'll need to get into the habit of regularly swapping out the replaceable blades on your razor or using fresh disposable razors instead. Knowing when to swap out your old blades for new ones will help keep your skin happy and your face looking its best, so our guide can help you work out how often you need to change your razor blades.

How often you should change your razor blades
According to the American Academy of Dermatologists, you should change your razor blades or throw away disposable razors after every five to seven shaves. High-quality razor blades should last five to seven shaves if you take care of them properly and keep them clean. However, cheaper disposable razors may wear out sooner.
Signs it’s time to change your razor blades include skin irritation after shaving, a less close shave, patchy areas or spots missed, skin that still feels rough after, dullness of the blades, feeling hairs are getting pulled instead of cut, and excessive friction of the blades across your skin that it feels like you have to drag it over your skin.
Moreover, a razor that has an accumulation of gunk that can’t be rinsed away should be immediately discarded, as this causes nicks and infections by dragging unevenly across your skin and introducing harbored bacteria into your pores.
