Thread: Almost finished my straight razor storage box

Good morning gents,

Almost finished with this straight razor storage box. Maple sides and an oak top and bottom. Top and bottom slip into a dado groove on the sides. I know - strange marriage of materials and it would have been nicer with a figured maple top. I just used the scraps I had lying around the garage - so this is what I had on hand. It'll work and it's just for me. Not finished yet - still needs a final sanding and finish of some sort - maybe just oil.




I made it to hold 7 razors but I'm having second thought on the internal pieces to hold the razors. Initially I was going to do something similar to the Theirs Issard box but long ways in my box:



So they would be arranged like this:



I think just straight pieces with a cut out for the fingers to grab one would be OK - but I'm thinking I need something to keep them from sliding back and forth. I don't plan to travel with the box but just picking it up etc.

Any innovative ideas out there?

Adam
