I have a large stash of jars and while the 3-5 g jars posted above are good for small amounts, they can be hard to open with wet fingers.

Check out decojars which have a knurled lid

These are some of the smallest they make http://stores.ebay.com/Decojars/2801...=p4634.c0.m322
Or wider, if you want to poke a finger in

Small flip top sample containers "lacon" are also good for thick creams or powders

A lacon is also lighter than a PET screw top jar of similar volume (also used for crafts and nail art, if you are shopping for such items)

Nice. The smaller ones can indeed be difficult to open at times and will leak a bit with less viscous products, so I may pick up some of the ones you posted, thanks.

I've started to use contact lens cases; the right eye case holds enough Proraso for 3 or 4 shaves (I do bring a small travel brush) and the left eye case holds an equivalent amount of aftershave.

I usually order sample sizes from Truefitt and Hill. I can usually get at least 2 shaves out of each packet. It's a little pricey, but I do like their products.

I just raid the hotel's bathroom supply - at least in Asia they usually have travel size shaving foam, good for 3-5 shaves.

Your best bet for a quality shave is a shave stick like Arko (if the citronella smell doesn't bother you) or my favorite, Speick. Available everywhere in Europe, in the US you need to order online ... http://www.westcoastshaving.com/Spei...tick_p_76.html
