Travel with all the necessities.
By Aly Walansky — Written on Nov 06, 2019
A men's toiletry bag is super important while traveling, especially for holding grooming items and bare necessities. And that means carrying a dopp kit with everything you need.
But what is a dopp kit? A dopp Kit is basically a travel toiletry bag for guys. It was named after Charles Doppelt, a leather craftsman who moved to the U.S. from Germany in the 1900s. Normally, it's a small toilet bag made of leather or cloth, or another material that can hold and store grooming tools for travel.
And these are all the essentials to carry in your toiletry bag or dopp kit.
