    Default The Cardboard Razor Box

    Hey all,

    Quick question here... I sure see a lot of pictures on ebay of the old boxes the razors came in. Often they'll take better pictures of the boxes than the razor itself.

    I, for one, don't give a dang (excuse my language) about the boxes and roll my eyes whenever I see someone listing a "box in great condition!" as a major selling point.

    Do any of you use the boxes for either storage or display? Am I missing something?

    If the box matches the razor and is in nice shape, I see that as a bonus. If not, I don't really care. I wouldn't pay extra for one in the correct box and in great shape.

    I think most of the bad photos of razors are intentional, and I agree with you about not giving a dang about box only eBay auctions especially beat up ones.

    Now I might bid on a like new box if it matched a razor I have. But it better be in perfect shape.

    I really like your display. Did you make it yourself? Quite a nice way to display!

    Maybe sellers don't think anyone would be foolish enough to try and shave themselves with one and think the pretty box is the reason why one would buy the item and the razor is an added bonus
