Thread: Where to get a shaving brush travel tube?

Find someone with a lathe, have them turn some stylish end caps for you and use a piece of this acrylic tube (2.75" ID) to house your wonderful brush.

Acrylic Plexiglass Tube (EXTRUDED ACRYLIC PLEXIGLASS TUBE) Order Online

The tube is real nice but how would you hold the end caps on provided you could get them turned?

I found this online and may end up buying it.

You have the inside diameter of the tube match the part which will be inserted. Much like a mailing tube.

Ahh,thanks.Might work.

It actually works exceptionally well. I've done this using a turned and hollowed cocobolo blank rather than the acrylic and used curly walnut for the caps.

Finally found what I was looking for.Only problem is,you hafta buy a case of 24.This is the style I was going for.

What about this:Hard Plastic Travel Case for Shaving Brush

That's different,I like that one,thanks.Anyone else?

Gentlemen,

Bestgroomingtools.com has plastic travel tubes designed specifically for brushes. I have owned one for years and its works perfectly well.

Off topic a bit - Anyone else find themselves at Home Depot or some other general store trying to repurpose common items into shaving supplies? Dip cups become scuttles, ash trays become soap holders... I even thought about cleaning out a liquid glue container with a sponge top to fill with astringent.
