Fresh out of the shower

"Fresh out" is the minute and a half after a shower, skin still warm and mirror still steamed, that clean tingle from a good scrub. It's the part of the day that gets the least attention but happens every morning. This Edit gathers four pieces around that feeling. A natural Egyptian loofah for the shower itself, where the feeling starts. Two undyed cotton towels with woven stripes to meet you when you step out. And a robe to keep the feeling going, with a cotton lining that absorbs water and a micro-fiber outer to keep the warmth in. They share a register: weighty, well-made, quiet. None of them tries to be more than what it is. They're the version of a towel or a robe we'd want in our own bathroom.

Classic stripe robe
THE GRANN
$284.00
The cotton lining absorbs water off the skin, so you can keep the towel step short and throw the robe on right after a shower. The soft micro-fiber outer holds the warmth in, which is why we end up in ours for the full half hour between shower and getting dressed on cold mornings.

Egyptian loofah, set of two
Mandisa
$51.00
A loofah does what a washcloth can't, scrubbing off dead skin while you wash. Most loofahs start shedding fibers in a few weeks; this one we've used for months. The Hand version, with its cotton strap, is the one we recommend if you're new to using a loofah.

Stripe bath towel, set of two
TWB
$106.00
We carried this one because the size and weight make sense in an American bathroom. It wraps around the body properly and still hangs like a bath towel on the rack. We would rather buy the same good towel twice than turn the set into an assortment.

Stripe face towel, set of four
TWB
$101.00
We carried the face size because it is the towel we reach for after washing up, then again after a workout. Four in one color makes a useful rotation. The stripes keep each stack from looking too serious.
