Thursday
I enjoyed opening my second three razor case and finding that today the Burrell Top Flight was ‘programmed’. I place the six straights I have in rotation in two three razor cases in the order they are used. Of course from time to time the order is changed but it does remain quite static.
I chose C O Bigalow and Floïd; they do go well together, esp in Summer. BTW, tell me, when you see ‘esp’ do you read it as ‘especially’ in your head or ‘esp’? When you see 'BTW' do you ‘pronounce’ BTW in your head or 'by the way'? Just wondering….

Have a nice day,

thanks , i was in an antique store searching for the elusive deal of the century of straight razors and ran across a whole stack of them at $5 a piece ( if i remember right ) i think it is a perfect size far as depth/width and i can tell you that being pewter it looks vintage and i know if it falls i can pick it back up and use it again without any repair ...lol.. it also holds the heat pretty well if i fill it with hot water while in the shower ..Quote:
