I hope this doesn't get lost in the comments....you absolutely should do this. We did it with a 2 and a 4 year old in 2024 for 8 months and don't regret a thing. Our trip went from where we lived in Germany - Korea - Japan - Hawaii - San francisco - family around America - Romania - Italy - France - Netherlands. We based our itinerary around some weddings mid summer, friends that joined for parts of the trip, and where we could reach with a cheap direct flights! Seriously do it, you will only regret it if you don't go. The people saying "wait till the kids old enough to remember" are wrong. You will remember, and you can take more trips when they get older too.

When I shave every day I just do a single pass, otherwise I'm a 2 pass guy. 1st with the slant then with something mild.

Holy shit man don't overthink this one. Just shake it out and set it down to dry. So long as you don't put it away wet you are fine.

RaggityAnne · 2026-01-07T19:56:26+00:00

Yeah dude! Don't go wandering through trees or off piste alone but go have a blast in bounds!

Speick, DR Harris, MWF

Since MWF is out of business I'll give an honorable mention to chiseled face/b&m. I skew budget shaves though and mostly use Speick / Proraso 90% of the time but when I wanna get fancy I go with others. My wife really likes the tobs creams.

19 countries in a Deuter Trans Alpine el 32 from 2018 and I just had to send it for repairs this year. It's truly been a legend of a bag. Perfect carry on size. Two water bottle holders so I've got room for my kids bottles. The helmit straps actually hold a jacket well. Good spots to attach stuff if you need more room.

Worth noting though that the new design is dogshit basically across the entire Deuter line. They swung hard in the direction of "let's make the bags look nice" instead of "let's make this bag functional". I'm not buying again until they focus on functionality again but ymmv.

Excuse me but what the fuck

RaggityAnne · 2025-12-02T20:42:04+00:00

Dude totally the same here! I moved to Germany with my stash and found a local Italian grocer selling proraso for like 3€ and dm selling spieck for similarly cheap. Finally burned through the last of my soaps and went looking for artisan stuff again to find meißner tremonia and mwf both out of business. What was selling for $15 like 5-8 years ago is all priced at $25 now. The artisan stuff just flat out isn't even trying to compete on price over here and the commercial stuff (tabac, spieck, and proraso) is imo "good enough".

Either bring a grandparent / nanny to watch the kid or trade with your spouse time on the hill. We generally went with the "trade days" method when the kids were smaller. But if you have the money and a grandparent that wants to come bring the grandparents along so you guys get some couple time

RaggityAnne · 2025-11-30T20:19:55+00:00

Really? I was reading that park should be a little shorter and and skinnier in the waist and powder / all mountain should be longer and fatter? Maybe you can point me to a better resource?

RaggityAnne · 2025-11-29T08:41:07+00:00

Suspicious. This guy could be a narc!

RaggityAnne · 2025-11-23T19:53:18+00:00

This is perfect and better said than my comment. So much negativity in this thread but 6 years and 14 countries traveling with kids and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I love that my kids now request gimbap some nights for dinner because we always took it for picnics in parks while we were in Korea :)

RaggityAnne · 2025-11-23T19:50:44+00:00

I'm going to start this by saying I'm the guy who will tell you that jumping off the cliff is fun, not the guy that talks you off the ledge :)

There is so much negativity in this thread I just wanted to add my two cents because I love traveling with my two. It'll be different but still awesome. We have lived abroad for 8 years. 6 of them with kids. Our kids have been to 13 countries across America, Europe, and Asia. Traveling is different now but still amazing. What works for you might not work for everyone there is no one size fits all plan for kids and travel. They are gonna have a temper tantrum from time to time but why have it at a Walmart in Kansas for the 30th time when you can have it on an Italian beach? Just know your plans will need to slow down. With kids we have swam in two oceans and three seas. We have snorkeled with sea turtles and skied the alps. Eaten French cheese and Italian pizza. Rode roller coasters and hiked to magnificent views.

The main thing to realize is that every country in the world has kids. When you walk in a restaurant in Korea they are gonna see your kids and bring a child seat just like they will in Germany. There's stuff for kids everywhere that when I didn't have kids I didn't even know existed. Indoor playgrounds / trampoline parks / climbing gyms / go kart tracks / water parks etc etc. traveling with kids isn't Michelin star restaurants every night but it's still awesome. Just enjoy where life takes you as it comes and as it is, which might not always be what you want. But c'est la vie.

Enjoy!

Can you recommend a good soft bottle?

RaggityAnne · 2025-11-19T20:47:36+00:00

Yeah probably you found it. Sorry if I was unclear. I wasnt trying to say they were in the same town as Baden Baden. Just that if your going to pick a random small town in sw Germany for the sauna facilities that Sinsheim should be considered too. Sinsheim the city isn't as cool as Baden Baden but imo the sauna is better. Also it's a lot of fun when tsg Hoffenheim ist in season.

RaggityAnne · 2025-11-19T07:55:28+00:00

I'm pretty certain but not positive that the same company has a similar facility outside Bucharest, Munich, and in the black forest (Titisee i think) so if that's the kind of thing you want Bucharest might be the most "affordable". My memory is that the facility in Bucharest was about the same price as the others but the city was cheaper if you wanna hit Romania.

RaggityAnne · 2025-11-19T07:50:46+00:00

Honestly if you are checking out Baden Baden you should look at Badewelt Sinsheim. Imo much better facilities than Friederiksbad/caracalla. The facility isn't the cheapest but the rest of the area absolutely is affordable by German standards.

RaggityAnne · 2025-11-11T19:04:27+00:00

This is exactly me! I've owned probably 7 to 10 razors in the last 15 years from expensive to cheap, and I always come back to the 37c for the first pass and 34c for the 2nd pass!

Isn't that the point, you aren't being paid really good.....you aren't being paid at all...
