    So my Rag Company edge less arrived. They are much nicer than the Costco towels (and much more expensive). They're thicker, the nap is about twice as long, just a nicer towel. But the Costco ones are just so cheap. Hard to justify the extra expense.

    On the last pic, I folded each towel over itself so you can see the difference in overall thickness.

    I've looked at a lot of towels on a lot of websites. Clearly, the Costco are the best bang for your buck.

    But these rag Co towels are about the cheapest option there is if you want to move into the better quality towels. the biggest improvement over the Costco is probably a more refined edge and that they are more plush.

    Wait till you use them and see if you notice any difference. I doubt you will call the Costco towels best bang for the buck. I have picked up cheap towels before and they end up being a one use towel for me.

    I'm anxious to try them out in Friday! I have a feeling I'll putting my Costco's into the rag bin and purchasing 20 more of the edge less. The edgeless do have some random little hard bits on the corners that disappointed me (melted from cutting, I'm sure). I wonder if that's the case with all edgeless? But they're undeniably much better than the Costco.

    Awesome. PM me yours and I'll send you one of the TRC edgeless. Do you know the GSM on yours? Looks like they come in two versions. Do you get that cloth or silk banding?
