    Default Trading Cigars for Straight Razors

    Gentlemen,

    This afternoon I realized I had a three-cigar hard carrying case that lay unused. I converted it into a two-razor travel case.

    I think sometimes it's a matter of looking around the house for things that fit nicely into the gentleman's shaving world. I am sure you have convertibles all over your little castles.

    My Thiers-Issard razors come with lovely leather sleeves. I have several leather sleeves for my other razors. The cigar case will hold comfortably two razors with their respective sleeves to give them cushion and to prevent them from getting too intimate.

    Voila! I am quite excited.

    "I think that's pretty smart, don't you think?" I said to dearly beloved.

    She nodded and said, "Einstein."

    I say, I don't know how to take that?

    Regards,

    Obie

    Oh man! I thought this was going to be someone wanting to take $100 and a case of Cubans off my hands in exchange for a 1/4 LeGrelot! Oh well... :-)

    Default Trading Cigars for Straight Razors

    My dear Richmondesi,

    Knowing my dearly beloved's droll sense of humor, I think she was quite impressed. What's more, I think she was happy that my genius left a few extra dollars in the family coffer, what, with the way I have lavished money on my practical hobby.

    And my dear AirColorado, I see what you mean by thinking I was ready to trade cigars for razors. That would have excited me, too. Nowadays, with dearly beloved and my two princesses hooting and hollering, I am down to an occasional cigar.

    There's no justice.

    Regards,

    Obie

    speaking of cigars. I am going to divulge some info here. Puroexpress.com. All ligit cubans. I have been using them for quite a while. I had one box so far confiscated and they replaced it for free. All i had rto do is send them a copy of the love letter and they replaced it. It was a box of montecrist #2s not cheap and they sent it no questions asked. Also for other types of stoges check out mikescigars.com. Great prices and mixed cigar specials.
