Thread: Do You Collect Razor Boxes?

Here's a question I've been meaning to throw out there for a while. Some time ago, a friend gave me a handful of razor boxes. Only a few boxes were for razors I owned and I decided to honor my RAD and pick up razors that went with those boxes. Gradually, I've been getting them and I only have two razors left to buy in order have all the boxes filled (a King Cutter and a Shumate - neither is rare but my disposable funds are). I also have a few razors I've never seen a box for (Revisor, Vadapesco, Kirk). So, do you keep your boxes or do you consider them just the packaging the razor came in?

I most certainly keep all my boxes. There are people out there who collect them exclusively. Oh, and I have a vintage revisor box.

I keep them too..

1 drawer has the ones that match a razor in my collection...
1 box has the oddballs...

I keep them as well. Too bad most rescales don't consider the original case rendering them useless.

Got a mess of them. I don't keep razors in them unless they are vintage mint razors. I have a few of those that remain untouched. The rest of the boxes are just in the closet piled up.

I have many, bagged by maker names. They take up a good piece of closet space. Some are very nice old double razor Sheffield coffins.

Old Sheffield Coffins.... Nice

Old Sheffield Double Coffins for pairs.... VERY NICE!!!

Yes I do as a matter of fact I wanted to start a page or forum that we could list what boxes we had that had no razors and what boxes we needed for the ones that didn't have matching boxes so we could trade them and it wouldn't cost anything more than postage. I was told no by the powers that be,but it would be great if we could swap the ones we have and don't need for the ones we need but dont have.Any suggestions?
