This modest design choice actually has deep historical roots. Early grooming tools from the late 1800s included similar openings so they could be carried securely long before modern storage options existed. The idea was so effective that it became a standard feature, surviving through countless redesigns and technological upgrades. Today, even with new materials, shapes, and ergonomic improvements, the familiar round hole remains unchanged.
It’s a perfect example of thoughtful design: subtle, practical, and enduring. Sometimes the smallest details are the ones that stand the test of time—and make the smallest moments of everyday life just a little easier.
