Potential Straight Travel Case

Been looking for a good way to carry a couple of straights with me when I travel. I may have finally stumbled across a good and inexpensive way. Was at Woodcraft picking up a Norton 1K along with a carving knife and saw some pen cases for the fancy turned pens. Went back again today and found 2 options that will both hold 2 razors.

The first is a plastic 2 pen case that cost a whopping $1.99

I took out the bottom pad and put in a divider (will have to get a pic later) and it will hold 2 razors quite nicely including my large 6/8 Henckels Barber Notch.

The second is a bit nicer case with a faux leather outside. It cost a whopping $4.99

It's just a bit shorter inside so my longest razor barely fits.

Anyway, just wanted to share what I found.

Thanks,

Pretty cool. :tu

if the dividers went in diagonally but slightly off centre the razors might fit in better but it is otherwise a nice elegant solution for very little money.

I'll get some photos up tonight but I took out the bottom insert from the plastic case and made a fabric covered divider to go in it and it's working good. The only draw back is I don't fully trust it staying closed so I'm using a bit of a rubber band around it.

I have a case that doesn't have a latch and I elastic band that shut it seems to work fine.

Here is how it looks with the divided interior. So far seems to be working quite well.

That looks pretty good. For now, mine get carried in a tooth brush case. Not near as pretty, but works for the time being.

I was using a tooth brush holder I had cut down and put some breather holes in. It would hold two of my thinner scaled razors which was nice for traveling but I didn't like them rattling around so much and was afraid of it coming open.
