    Sure it would be easy to use glass. You would need a much less figured wood for a horizontal display case, to put the attention on the nice razors.

    It would be pretty hard for me to go into mass production hah! I live in a half duplex, without a garage. I did all this work in my carport (basically my driveway) using one of those collapsing workmates for a bench and my junky portable table saw. I don't think my neighbours would be too happy if I made a regular thing of it hehe.

    Very nice box. I wish I had the skill to make myself one like it...

    By the way, I used to have a vintage box like that, and I found it was helpful to put some padding inside the lid in order to hold the razors in place (sort of grab the tails) so they didn't "clink" around, but my box was small and I carried it around a bit. May not matter for a big one like yours.

    It's meant to be stationary so it won't need padding. I was thinking about making a mesh net to hold some of that silica stuff that ships with electronics to absorb moisture.

    Hmmm...best way would be to recruit the neighbors in this endeavor .

    In all seriousness...you can probably outsource the manufacturing to China or something (some have minimums that need to be met, but with demand for something like this, you will not have problems meeting it). Probably, the margin can be decent on something like this too (have it made for $10-15 a box and sell it for >$60...I just made those numbers up)

    I'd be your first customer .
