Impromptu razor box
Last month I let my older brother pick out a razor from my collection. He chose a near mint GWMarsden in yellow celluloid, square point.
I am visiting his home for T-day and asked to see his razor, wanted to show hima few things. He opens a drawer, and the razor is sitting in a basket of shaving implements.
This will not stand with me, gotta get him a box. I am 3 hours from home, so time to make one.
I had no card stock, so what to use?
The wife says "how about that beer box?"
Bingo, almost perfect size.
Dang, should have planned for it to open from the top of the bottle!
Almost perfect, once I fix a few issues with the pattern I will post it.

This may give me something to do with some of the empty boxes I have left over from other purchases.

I love it! Well done!
The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.

Looks nice!
One step further you could even get acid free cardboard boxes made for storing sensitive things.
Maybe glue some nice cloth on them.Hur Svenska stålet biter kom låt oss pröfva på.

BTW, I am currently testing the beer box cardboard for acidity. I'll give results when I get them.
