    Thanks for the complements, but I just started this leather hobby a few months ago. I don't charge anything , if I make somebody something, because it helps me to learn & if it is less than perfect when you get it, then there ain't much you can b&%$h about since you get it for free.

    Full disclosure,, I did recieve a Duncan Donuts large ice coffee for one of my Hubba Bubba pouches once.

    I caught a lot of bike thieves over the years on the job,,,, I learned a lot from them.

    I recovered bikes that cost more than some small cars.

    I had some scrap leather, old bull's belly leather, so I made a holder for them.
    Thanks for looking.

    With all those holsters out there aren't you afraid there might be a GUM FIGHT? It is Hubba Bubba after all.

    I'm glad to see there are craftsmen still around today that know what they want and can still produce it. With that in mind, I was looking for a razor rack for my humble collection. I could not find one that I liked. So, I decided to make my own. Sketched it out on paper and used Red Oak. Finished it with Tru Oil (4 coats).
