I'm not sure if the box is haunted or what but anything that goes in it eventually forms rust/corrosion. The box itself is rotting and crumbling apart. It's in the trash now and I'm looking for a relacement. I put everything that was originally in the box into a cardboard box and nothing was effected. But putting them back int the box had them rusting again. Whatever was giving the razors hell was also destroying the box itself. I put it out of its misery this evening.
You should have burned that evil box!
Thanks for the update, I was just thinking about this the other day when I saw an empty seven day case with red liner come up on eBay.
Very interesting,do you know what the box was made of?
A number of years ago Browning firearms company used walnut that was "fast cured" using a solution of salt. The guns that had what was called "salt wood" typically rusted in hidden locations due to this, they did make good on this by offering replacement of the wood and cleaning up the guns. It may be possible that the wood used in your box was "cured" by this method. If that's the case, the only fix is a new box.
Man do I remember that debacle.I ordered a very spendy light 20 O.U about 25 yrs ago.Quote:
