I only have one of each, but I find that it's true. Overall, I like the linen more. __________________ The whole world wide, every day, fly Hugin and Munin; I worry lest Hugin should fall in flight, yet more I fear for Munin.

Many here don't even use a cloth strop period. __________________ Sparks, Nevada Police report last night Homer La Fong Died while shaving with his straight razor. His wife reported he was using his Iwasaki Razor and while shaving his neck it just seemed to have a mind of its own and came to life and cut his throat. Subsequent investigation revealed the razor belonged to Toshiro Kawasaki a WWll Kamakazee pilot who was killed when his plane slammed into the USS Yorktown. His last act was to shave with that razor. It is suspected the razor is haunted.
