    Default Homemade Leather Razor Roll

    Hi guys,

    I'm a newbie with just one razor currently as my daily shaver. I'm waiting for another 3 which are on their way (and I hope to get it soon). Since I don't have a proper place to keep them when they are all here, I decided to make a leather razor roll. The roll took about 2 days to make (maybe about 10 manhour) in which everything is cut, glued and stitched by hand. The colour of the leather is really nice in person and the roll was stitched with beige coloured threads. The lining is made of non-woven fabrics. These are not the best photos tho as I took them under bad lighting

    Next project would be a leather travel set. Any ideas/ good designs for it? Really appreciate the feedback. Thanks

    Hi, Pesa! That's a very fine example of craftsmanship!! I think any shaver here would be proud to have one!

    Well done! A beautiful example of hand stitching,
    What type leather and thickness did you use?

    I think your skills would be up to a small portmanteau such as this for a travel set. A loaf shaped end instead of a full round may be bit more practical.

    Thanks guys.

    joamo: Aniline leather with thickness of 1mm, which is the reason why I had it lined with another fabric to retain the shape. Currently waiting for Horween leather swatch. Hopefully I can make the next one with Horween Cordovan. That's a nice travel set. Any pic of the inside?

    I guess a good travel set would have to be custom made based on the type of gears (size/dimension of aftershave, soap case, brush case etc) it has to carry right?

    I haven't seen many, but I believe they were undivided inside, basically a big open area as in this.

    The shape and size were meant for a change of clothes and personal items to be carried strapped behind a saddle.

    I think the basic design is very elegant and suited to customizing. A smaller version , about the size of a dopp kit, with brush/razor loops, dividers for containers or bowls should be quite doable. You might even consider a polished metal mirror in the flap.

    Very nice work. You should have made it with at least 20 pockets. Your a candidate for RAD!!
