Interesting idea...whaddya think?
Hi, I am going to throw out an idea that I would like to get some feedback on. I have an old J Rodgers coffin style SR box and a JR razor that fits very tightly inside. The box and the razor did not come as a set. The razor fits but a little too tight for my liking. This box seems to have shrunk over time, much like a dry piece of leather would. I wonder if anyone in this community has ever steamed a box in order to breath a little moisture back into it. I am imagining literally holding the box over a steaming pot of water and coercing it to loosen and potentially stretch a bit and help it regain a tiny bit of elasticity (temporarily) to better fit the SR. With the SR back in maybe it would have a structural memory and conform a bit better. Of course this would be done cautiously so as not to critically damage it. On the other hand, maybe this is a quick way to ruin an old razor box.
whaddya think?
Thanks
