Thread: A compact travel kit

Some days ago the famous Mme Grace, the cat (already famous for gutting my horsehair brush), shoved my tabac bowl out of heir domains and it shattered, remaining unbroken just its lid. While cleaning the mess (huge mess, this kind of glass shatters on a million tiny-itty-bitty-freaking pointed and sharp shrapnel that loves feet), I picked the lid and tossed it on top of the accumulated shaving things on the shelf and noticed the very close size of it compared with my cheap and indestructible enamel travel mug . A quick sanding of the ridges on the lid and voilá! The lid adjusted pretty nice on my travel mug, already selected by its sturdiness and capacity to house the travel brush, soap and alum stone. No more spilling articles in the suitcase! Snug fit! A smaller alum stone and I'll have space for a flask of aftershave!

I like it! Smart thinking.
