boxes

i'll soon start reselling restored (if needed, rescaled with wood) razors (mostly french and german 5/8's and 4/8's).
It should be 40-50 euros depending on the razor, with a small horse leather strop (i make strops from bulk leather pieces)

I nneded to find boxes for those without their original ones, here's what i bought from ebay : orginally made for "luxury" pens

To give scale, the razor is a 5/8. Don't ask me for it, this one will not be for sale :mace:

They are nice looking boxes, but i'll have to cut the foam inlay to razor dimensions, it'll be hard to get a clean result (alternatively, i just remove it and use another filler)

woah!! i think i just bought a bunch of those exact same cases off ebay for my own storage needs. razor looks really good with them, glad i made that purchase now!! :)

also, when i was looking at these, someone in chat said to fold the inlay in half and cut it at the folded bit, as a possible easy way of making the razor fit nicely. not sure if that inlay is foldable, however i am probably going to replace the inlay with foam in the bottom and a really thin foam insert to sit on top over the razor (same as dovo boxes).

Those cases are nice. What did you search for to find them? I wouldn't mind picking up a couple for my razors as well.

I reviewed everything that had size more or less similar to straight razors and could be sold with a presentation case.

So i searched watch, pen, cigar, necklace, (etc etc) boxes.

And then i sorted them on various criteria, size, color, prices, material...

Those i bought are pen boxes : apparently a british retailer who had too much of them.

There are many convienient boxes on ebay, i let you search :p
