With all the fuss about air travel with liquids I have returned to checking my luggage even on short flights. It's going to ruin my leather hand luggage but trying to fit my toiletries into a small polyethylene bag in order to get them through security is too much of a pain.
That's what makes the firm of Barclay Crocker of Silver Lake, New Hampshire so interesting. In true entrepreneurial style, Barclay Crocker is helping travelers with its "Easy Travel Kit." Call by 2PM with your credit card handy and $19.95 gets a week's worth of toiletries delivered overnight to any address served by US Express Mail® Overnight Service. So carry-on becomes practical again.
The supplies represent a very respectable value so long as the shoe wipes are disposed of before they get near a pair of leather shoes.
- Old Spice 4-Blade High Endurance Razor (1)
- Gillette Foamy Regular Shaving Cream
- Barclay Crocker Aftershave Balm "Washed Suede"2 oz
- Crest Cavity Protection Toothpaste
- Colgate Toothbrush - Soft
- Scope Mouthwash Original Mint
- Wisdom Floss
- Borotalco Deluxe Italian Bath Bar 100g
- Barclay Crocker 2 in 1 Conditioning Shampoo "Washed Suede" 2 oz
- Old Spice Antiperspirant / Deodorant
- E.A.R Classic Plus Ear Plugs
- Shoe Shine Wipes (2)
Another promising improvement, though it won't help with the liquids in the luggage problem, is the biometric Clear card that promises to fast-track us through airport security for $99.95 a year and a one-time fee of $28. It's a good idea, though so far the system is running in just a few major airports, principally San Francisco and JFK.

Hi Will,
I've been reading your blog lately, trying to get some ideas on how to beautify my husband. He's got a long ways to go. :)
Have you seen the Flight 001 website? They have wonderful kits to help you get all the toiletries you use into that quart-size container. I mean, I am a girl (duh) and I managed to fit all my goodies into this bag: http://flight001.com/store/trip.htm?itemid=1826&view=all&sid=203
Hadn't seen the site, thanks. I've been reluctant to spend the time necessary to offload the liquids in my toiletries kit but I probably need to do that.
One problem I forsee is when you pull the bag out a couple weeks later and have to figure out which container is the conditioner and which the shampoo.
ah, that problem is easily remedied - buy a two-in-one! =)
