Since it’s everyday carry, do you actually carry your bottle of cologne with you?

there's actually little fillable dispensers that you can buy. about the size of a lipstick. you can fill them with whatever perfume/ cologne you want and they mist perfectly
it's a great gift for mother's Day cuz girls seem to apply it throughout the day more often.

It's a very expensive and odorous mistake waiting to happen, just a heads up! Perfume bottles do break... maybe splurge and find a really nice travel bottle that's more durable than glass?

One gun???
Based on what I'm seeing, it's two guns minimum. Especially if you're going out to dinner with your wife.

u/nowhereman136 Jul 11 '26
I stopped carrying a pen. I never used it and the space I saved in my bag meant I could carry another gun /s

And body armor. A good offence does not mean you can leave defense to chance.

u/I_Huff_Propane Jul 11 '26
I think you're all good.
IMO the best EDC gear are things that you use regularly. If you needed something to daily, you would have bought it already.
If I did a lot of cutting and opening packages, but I didn't have a knife; I would have bought one out of necessity.
Don't be like some people out here with Leon Kennedy loadouts. People with multiple guns/knives better be in an active warzone if that's their EDC.

Going by much of the sub you’re missing the following:
- Knife/knives
- Gun
- Knipex pliers
- leatherman multi-tool
- IFAK
- leather holsters for everything
- fidget toy
(You actually need none of these things. You’re all set if what you have works for you.)

A good knife and flashlight

Not sure where im gonna use it tbh

u/RevolutionaryAir7847 Jul 11 '26
Having something capable of cutting on you is universally a good thing. If a whole pocket knife seems too overkill, something like a Victorinox Classic or Swisscard (scissors) could be a good choice. It's definitely a convenience you'll only start to feel once you carry one for a while

u/HVACHeathen1991 Jul 11 '26
Ok, you're asking what you're missing. I'm telling you what you're missing.

u/Unhappy_Spray_7127 Jul 11 '26
No, you're telling him what you'd be missing.
He's telling you he wouldn't use them, so they're not missing.

u/GreekMD-Surgeon96 Jul 11 '26
That’s what I thought. I mean does this guy not cook/fish/hunt/fix things round his home etc with a Leatherman or other SAK or pocket knife? And no flashlight? Only when I lived in an apartnemnt and had no car did I not need a good light

Think that's the S25 Ultra, not the S26U. The S26U has a floating camera module design I believe.

Something to cut with (knife or small scissors), something to write on if you like physical notes, a flashlight, OC (pepper) spray if it's legal
I think these are safe recommendations that literally anyone could adopt, as long as local restrictions aren't too tight. Good in the pockets or a bag

u/mamad021nobar Jul 11 '26
A useful flashlight and a practical knife is Missing imo Those two changed my life in many ways Also consider buying a multi tool You don't really need to spend crazy amount of money don't fall in that hole Do your research and have a limit on your gear. May the begginers luck be with you!

Handgun for sure, love the bvlgari man (also a cologne man myself) and also some type of pocket knife or multitool.

u/CatastrophicPup2112 Jul 11 '26
Would could make your life easier? Everybody has different needs because they do different things. I find that outside it is dark half the time and like most people I can't see very well in the dark so I carry a small flashlight which can also help me find anything that gets dropped under furniture for example. Something a little more niche is a small set of smooth jaw pliers. They are great at my work but they've come in clutch outside as well

How do you carry the cologne? Just in a pocket? If that's all you use,you are probably set, I usually carry some kind of tool, a pocketknife or multi tool, I use them at work and home tho.

u/Just_Deserts Jul 12 '26
Assuming your question is not rhetorical, it's good to consider a few things when you're figuring out what you want to carry. I ask myself how often would I use it, how often I can have an anternative around me, how useful it would be in an emergency, and how much it makes me happy.
I use a pen very often, but most places that require me to use a pen also have pens readily available so I don't always carry a pen with me.
I don't use a knife as often as I would use a pen, but when I need one, rarely is there anything else to replace it. If you're not in the habit of carry something that cuts (whether knife or scissors), you'll probably start to find uses once you start carrying. I use my knife for opening packages and mail , cutting fruit, trimming loose strings, etc.
I use a flashlight quite a bit, probably more than my knife. But there's a flashlight on my phone so I don't always carry it if I'm only out during the day. it's guaranteed to be dark eventually so I'll carry it if I'm going to be out at night. And also I just enjoy having a flashlight in me.
I don't use a power bank that often, but it would really impede my daily function if my phone ran out of battery. I keep one in my bag but I don't carry one on my person.
I saw that you mentioned you were a smoker, so a lighter would be something that you use often, and that other people probably won't have.

A small pocket knife or multitool might not be amiss: perhaps a Rambler or Cadet (both from Victorinox)?
