Custom Horse Hide Razor Case!
Hey Guys,
Here is a custom razor case I made for myself for use when I travel. It's made from Horween shell cordovan and should work great! It's plenty stiff, but it will break in quickly after a razor has been stored inside for a bit. I don't intend on keeping a razor inside the case full time, just while in my dop kit, so there should be no moisture/rust problems. The leather is "natural" and undyed, save for a good coating of mink oil, which darkened the leather to a nice shade of brown. I also stamped the case in a couple of places with my makers marks which add a cool custom touch, IMO.
Anyway, here are the pics and I welcome your comments and suggestions on how to improve the design.

That looks amazing, I've always loved the look of black edges on brown leather.

Thanks for the nice comments, guys! And like some of you, I like the "less is more" style in a lot of things myself. I appreciate the skill it takes to hand tool leather, but I usually wouldn't want it for myself.

Great looking case. I really like the straightforward design of it. It has a very rugged look to it yet looks quite refined.
