Thread: Roll

Does anyone know where I might find a 20-30 razor roll or any roll type bag?

All the razor roll ups I’ve seen were made at home.
Got a sewing machine or you could try a local seamstress.
Razorfeld is good with a sewing machine

Just a quick warning about roll ups and Yes I have a few

The last Denver meet up we had, I drove down from ID to visit Mom and go to the Meet in July

Every single razor in that roll warped from the pressure and the heat

No the roll was not in the sun, the roll was not tightly tied, and the AC was on but, it still happened, so be careful when rolling them

I would recommend a barber box.
Like this for instance.

If you are transporting razors, a roll is the only way to go. Tied lightly. cushioned in a sturdy box.
The old boxes are cool, but vibration in a vehicle could rub on them.
I think the old razor sellers likely had them in their paper board boxes in the slots?

I feel rolls are not the best for storage. Air and distance seem better for that.

I once went to a meet and filled all my rolls. Made some of finer bubblewrap folding over and doing beads with a hot glue gun to create slots.
The top was double size so after inserting razors, I hade a double fold and then rolled it up. Had 2 15 razor ones.
Tied with string lightly. Worked well.

Yeah, I suppose it is worth asking what the purpose is. The box is where my regular rotation resides. It is really good for that, sitting on a counter ready for use. If I were to transport it I would probably wrap them in shipping paper or choose a different method. Tom is right that the movement in the slots in travel is not ideal. I would think that proɓably the best way for shipping purposes is packed in their original boxes or at least one they fit in like their original. Those stack well in a bigger cardboard box too.

I have no real personal experience with rolls other than having bought a few full of razors. My general impression is that most of the the razors were not in very good shape when I got them but that is just anecdotal and may not have been because of the roll.

There are lots of ideas spread throuhout the annals here with different boxes, cases amd cabinets. Personally I have the bulk of mine in this cabinet along with my most used stones and some restoration paraphernalia.
