FOR POLISHING THE RAZOR

Useful Little Article That Will Be Found of Value in Almost Every Household. It is a common habit with many men to polish a razor with a towel after they have finished shaving with iL and the consequence is the towel often suffers from a number of small cuts. Our sketch shows a useful little article to be used for this purpose in the place of the towel, that can be made in spare moments from

almost any small remnants of material, and that can take its place upon the dressing table. It is made of silk, and bound at the edges with narrow ribbon and lined with soft wash leather. It is cut out in the shape shown in diagram C, end measures six inches in length and three inches in width when spread out quite flat. It folds together in the center in the manner shown in diagram b, and diagram A shows the way in which it can be used to wipe the razor. For appearance sake, some simple

little design such as suggested in the sketch can be worked upon the exterior, and should it be desired to hang it up it is an easy matter to sew on a small loop of ribbon at one corner. A similar case to hold tissue paper about the same size should also be at hand so that the razor can be wiped before being polished.
