I love the warmth and comfort this Baccarat Rouge dupe conveys. Very nice before a wintery Saturday morning on the playground.
This B21 is my most-used brush, and it’s a pleasure to use. It used to feel huge, but the Moar Boar took good care of that misconception.

I came in from walking the dog to see this. Perfect timing! Haven’t seen that Sparschweinchen in a while!

It’s that Koraat box! Because of the larger box size, the Sparschweinchen sits behind all other straights in my out-of-reach-of-curious-toddlers top shelf and gets used less frequently than other razors. I should just bite the bullet, get rid of that pretty box and stick it in a smaller razor sleeve 😅

Heresy! What about getting an over-the-top shelf?
That being said, the TI leather sleeve is neat.

As the tallest in the family, all the over-the-top shelf space is arleady my natural habitat in this apartment. The ceilings are 3.80 high, so that’s quite a bit of usable real estate :)
I have mixed feelings about that TI sleeve. Since it doesn’t actually close and the razor can slide out, it’s not something you could just through in a box of razors, unlike razors in these Maggard sleves for instance. So I’m left with something that looks and feels neat, but still needs to go in some sort of secondary container in my box of razors.
