    Default Nice chest for razors!

    I know some folks have used these for storing their razors and parts in the past and these sometimes sell for $150 plus depending. I received a email of sales from Harbor Freight today and this unit they now carry has a $10 off regular price and is very nice looking.

    Here is a link for those who ever may have wanted one but did not want to pay $150 plus.

    Yup, they are nice well made boxes for the price, especially with the coupon. I have one and also some old Gerstner’s and Union boxes.

    Buy one in person and open the box, some have better looking and matching wood grain than others.

    Good call. Never pay list price at HF. There's always a coupon for everything.

    Was looking at those for a while and never found one near that price!
    Am using a silverware chest ATM. Pretty happy with it for now.
    But should I ever need to upgrade........

    Ok are the drawers lined and are they deep enough to store razor hones like coticules, Charnley Forest stones , Thuris and Jnats?

    The top and bottom drawers are.

    The top is deep, maybe 3-4 inches and the bottom 2 drawers are about 2 inches.

    I can measure them it you’d like?

    They are felt lined on the bottoms, the top lined on bottom and sides, just like a Gerstner. Don’t know what the felt is, but I have stored tools in mine for a few years without a problem.

    Gerstner’s used a wool felt, specifically so they would not create a reaction/off gassing on steel, but don’t know if it is/was really needed.

    Judging by the dimensions and looks of the depth in the picture I would assume so. But the only way to know is go by HF and measure the drawer depths.
