Thread: Gear Re-Purpose: 'Straight Razor Case'

Recently purchased a straight razor from someone locally and they brought it in a Sony car stereo face plate box. Turns out it works really well. Could easily add some styrofoam cut to fit a straight and glue on some felt/material and have a really cool case. The case is really tough and could come in particularly handy for travel; especially in the case of someone else handling your luggage.

Thought I'd share a cool Idea I'd never seen before as these cases are widely available and super cheap!

I like the idea & thank you for it, but I can't really say I like this actual box, for these reasons:
1. The Sony brand wrapped around my 180 year old Wade & Butcher.
2. The interior will need to be customized, like you described above.
3. If I remember right, the hinge on that box is just pressed thin plastic, very weak.

As a fast, last minute travel option, it might serve the purpose.

Don't get upset at me, I always love to see member's ideas.

No chance of me getting upset! I was babtized in flame wars from a couple decades back. ;-)

And, I totally agree... I have been looking at it closer and trying to figure out how to lose that logo, create texture or maybe paint the outside and definitely finish the inside. The hinge is fairly thin plastic but they were designed to be opened/closed a lot so I think I'll ride this to failure as I'm coming up with a fix.

I just love tinkering around with weird stuff like this and I love objective criticism so fire away... I'll take it at face value and learn from it every time!

Sounds good, definitely felt on the inside & some roll cotton to keep them off each other. Forget about the logo.
