It was confiscated as 'of British manufacture. Again, on May 18, Charles wrote to Mademoiselle Luci, in Paris. She is requested 'de faire avoire une ouvrage de Mr. He asks, too, for a razor-case with four razors, a shaving mirror, and a strong pocket-book with a lock. Business of a graver kind is in view. Newton asked for a delay, on account of family affairs.
On Round Prairie, that night, we pitched our tents and slept the sleep of the weary, our heads pillowed on war-bags in which the heel of a slipper, the edge of a razor-case, a bottle of sunburn lotion, and the tooth-end of a comb made sleeping an adventure. It was cold. It was always cold at night.
Red morocco Turkish slippers with pointed toes; embroidered smoking-cap all appointments of a man of refinement and of means. Tucked beside his razor-case were some books richly bound, and some bundles tied with red tape. Like most educated Russians, he spoke English with barely an accent. I was not long in arriving at a conclusion. No one would have been no one of my experience.
I have bought a new looking-glass and razor-case on the strength of these compliments, and am meditating on the expediency of having my hair cut in the Burlington Arcade, rather than in Lamb's Conduit Street. As Richard says, "Since I am crept in favour with myself, I will maintain it with some little cost." But what nonsense I write, and in times that make many merry men look grave! Ever yours
Their razors are of the simplest patterns, and, from their jagged-ness, would seem better fitted for the preparing and harrowing of the soil than for the ultimate reaping of the crop. But this is no matter for wonder, since so many chins are to be shaven, and a razor-case holds but two razors.

I took out my razor-case, examined the edges, found the sharpest, and put it carefully away again. I loaded all the chambers of my revolver, and locked it up.
This incident reminded them that, in the boat that took him to Pontoise, Raoul Gaillard, then dying, had anxiously asked if a razor-case had been found among his things. On receiving a negative reply, "he had appeared to be very much put out, and was heard to murmur that the fortune of the man who would discover this case was made."
He reached out his hand, and, unseen, slipped his razor-case into his pocket. 'I cannot stay here, he thought, 'I must go down! Without a word he left the room, and went back to the lawn. Old Jolyon had little Holly on his knee; she had taken possession of his watch; Jolly, very red in the face, was trying to show that he could stand on his head.
The next cast was a small one, being a sailor's little 'ditty bag', containing needles, thread, and other sewing utensils, then came a razor-case, followed by two or three separate plugs of negro-head, which were fished up from the bottom of the now empty receptacle. These various matters, being inspected, I produced the few things which I had myself brought.
