    Default Travel tubes for shaving brushes

    Anyone know any good travel tubes for shaving brushes? I already own the Muehle one http://www.westcoastshaving.com/Muhle-Ro..._2533.html. I've seen some interesting ones form Simpson http://www.simpsonshavingbrushes.com/cgi...rod_CASESL, shaving-shack http://www.shaving-shack.com/shaving-bru...-tube.html, and this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Large-shaving-br...B008YEPZ68.

    A number 60 prescription bottle (with the aforementioned holes drilled in) will work as well as anything. They're great for carrying a shave stick too (Arko or Palmolive do fine) if needed. Tabac and LaToja come with one already.

    I don't use a container, I just use a cheapish brush and dry it as best I can before packing. It won't be in my washbag that long generally so I don't see that it matters.

    I use the container for my bottle of Versace Blue Jeans.
    Works like a charm

    You could use florescent tube guards to make several custom length covers for $8 shipped in the US. Also pvc, cpvc, abs pipe would all do as well.

    I must not get big enough prescriptions, I have not found one that would work yet.

    I just asked the pharmacist if she had any larger tubes,mand she gave me one. It never hurts to ask, all they can say is no. Tc

    The container store may have something you can use. I just use the box the brush came in.

    Also go to a plumbing supply outfit and see if they have some odds and ends of brass or aluminum tubes-pipe. They you can get some rubber and fit it on the ends.
