INT'L CUSTOMERS; Unless your order's >$400 or has at least one item explicitly stating "includes EMS express mail", free tracking is NOT included-you must optionally elect to purchase it (if you want it). Service ranges 7-90 days and there's absolutely no way to find out what's going on.
We'll happily accept small orders from all over earth, however...
PURCHASE WITHOUT TRACKING = YOU ASSUME ALL RISK OF LOSS
We've no option to add any tracking to regular 1st class int'l mail (domestic packages now get this for free).
So far (>7000 att. @ this writing), overall risk of disappearance is ~0.46%, with Western Europe/Great Britain/Canada closer to ~0.2% and Australia/New Zealand thus far perfect with well over 1000 combined attempts.
I can't offer Registered Mail anymore-it takes too long hand-writing 3 forms, sealing a box with water-activated tape, and queueing up at the post office...time's just too valued. We instead offer to partially subsidize EMS Express Mail's high cost, which is always a minimum of $38(and moves up based on a weight in a jiffy!).
The option buys speed & safety, but only you can decide if it is worth it to you. Minimum order value of $100 to elect this option.

All of these brushes are ideal for travel. They'll all dry very quickly, and either have a built-in protective case or otherwise are so small as to fit into a normal medication container. Smaller brushes are simpler to use and consume less cream/soap, but provide what some would argue to be a less luxurious experience. |
 | The Mühle RV Plastic Helicoid Brush Tube borrows from the best in the world of telescope eyepieces, but of course a much different size. This is a sturdy, vented plastic tube which twists open and closed, and has an internal space which accommodates most brushes one would practically choose to take on travels. The maximum outer dimensions are about 2x5", and internally it accepts brushes with handle diameters of up to 41mm. There's more internal height clearance than would be needed for any brush but a turnback, which of course has its own unique container. The RV tubes weigh just 1 ounce. Shipping it by itself is comparatively expensive and LOTS of folks have taken advantage of this, so I apologize that we have to offer it at two prices. | |

The Dovo 918096 is a silvertip brush much in the style of the 'turnback' models below down the page, but with a push-fit assemblage instead of screw threads for the brush head and base. It shares identical satin-finished steel w/ the fine Dovo 499806 razor/brush stand; there's no doubt it is a looker, though you pay a weight and price penalty for that sturdier, highly-refined metal...every sample we've seen is a perfect, fairly bulby knot of silvertip badger hair. The bottom line as I see it; if the knot's quality's your #1 criteria in a traveller, only the Simpsons "The Major" in Super Badger is close, and I'd still give it to this one.

The Mühle Travel Brush (Available in Pure Badger or Synthetic, Aluminum or Nickel-Plated Brass) | |

Mühle's Travel Brush is the neatest design we've seen. The handle encases the brush head, but unlike every other one on the market the brush head itself is attached to a distinct screw threading. Presumably it could easily be exchanged if need be. It has a little knot and the threads have extremely fine machining tolerances. I've been a telescope junkie for years and want to pull my hair out when a cheap filter doesn't fit a good eyepiece or vice versa. None of that here. Its really light, too, made from strong anodized aluminum. I don't get why every travel brush doesn't factor weight into their equation. I'll certainly fight for grams and millimeters when I'm on the go, and I have to have a brush that dries extremely fast, too. Check, check, and check. Now available in either pure badger or Mühle's faux-silvertip "Silvertip Fibers" knot. I'm going for the synthesizer and never looking back; its extreme drying speed's worth a bit of scritch. The bottom of the brush handle/cover has an air hole.

| Get a good look at the faux-silvertip knot from straight down main street as shown above; it comes in around ~21mm diameter x ~50mm loft, and has a flatter, broader top than does the stay-at-home new-for-2011 synthetics shown below. It is rather intense knot, given to painter's strokes but not suited to pointing straight at your face (as is the functionally less dense 31K256 below, for example). It worked well enough with a Valobra shave stick on try #1 for me to know I've found my perfect travel brush.

The Omega 50014 Travel Brush is a small 'turnback' model which encapsulates the bristles in the handle when you're travelling. It has a stiff and scrubby boar knot made to look cosmetically like a badger brush. Works very well with the Valobra shave stick.

 |  | The Simpsons 'The Major' is a beautifully conceived travel brush. Fits inside its own handle. Much like others on the market, even those made by the same folks, but more elegant. A smaller, shorter, and slightly thinner knot to allow very quick drying for storage/travel. Available in either Best or Super badger.

The Vulfix Turnback is a cool travel brush, with its own tube/handle. It dries very easily and lathers well with both brushes and soaps. Not the lightest thing in the world, but really enjoyable to use and a quite neat piece of kit. Stocked in super badger, this is the same brush made to order for other manufacturers of premium creams/colognes/aftershaves.
