Thread: Made a razor storage box

Hi Guys', my razor collection has grown a bit since the start of the year so I made myself a cheap box to house them all and get a bit more organized, it's out of some Meranti timber I had lying around the shed for a while, would have preferred some hardwood but didn't have any so made do with what I had, that Meranti is real soft, anyway found a small piece of nice Marble at a Stonemason's for the top, polished it up a bit more and it came up nice. Polyurethaned the timber and with 3 drawers, the first 2 drawers for my favourite razors, didn't put in the other 10 as I will be going to sell them off soon. The 3rd. drawer for the various bits and pieces, ie; soaps ect. still have to find some small plastic containers to hold them. What didn't show up is a bag of desiccant in the back of each drawer to suck up any moisture.

The liner was going to be green microfiber but after hunting for about 30 minutes I gave up, I know I have about 8mts of the stuff... somewhere! however in the process I found a small piece of scrap red velour that one of my daughters had left over from a school costume she made when she was much younger, so I claimed it and so red liner it is.

Machined up the post of the double brush holder from a piece of stainless rod in my lathe, put a small taper on it, plasma cut the holding arms, and welded the lot to a piece of stainless angle I made for it, Polished it up and screwed it in to the back of the box. Now my missus can't complain about my stuff lying all over the bathroom bench.

If I made something this nice to keep my razors in, SWMBO would be jealous and wonder why she doesn't have something this nice for her jewelry. Very well done!!!

That looks nice.

Nice work, Ed - and a local too

Wow, I've got to get/make one of these...

Amazing job!

Cheers.

Beautiful

Looks great. Currently working on making a seven day out of a fancy cigar box.

Thanks guys for the complements, had to make it to keep the missus happy, took more time to make than I anticipated but worked out nice in the end. Keeps it all together and not spread out all over the bathroom bench, also it will protect the razors from the bathroom moisture as I have added small bags of desiccant in the drawers.

Cheers

Very nice home for your shaving gear !
