Thread: razor boxes

do you guys think their would be a market for custom made razor boxes for displaying and or storing?

btw this is my first post here

id be interested to here what you guys think about the question i have been doing woodworking for about 5 years and have been a sharpener for 2 and i was given a straight razor from one of my customers as a trade for money owed and i sharpened it and shaved with it and i fell in love with it and i was looking and classicshaving.com and i seen some razor boxes and wondered how practical it would be to make and sell these to supplement the hobby costs

Wellcome,absolutly a market for them,post up some examples.

Definitely agree that there is a market for razor boxes or display cases. Many members here make their own, and others (such as myself) have the need but are way too lazy. In fact, I just bought a vintage cigar box to hold my razors, because I couldn't find anything else that I really liked for a good price.

I agree there would be a market for them. Ive been on the hunt for something to display my razors for a little while now and i would be interested in seeing some of yours dispaly cases.

I'm currently making a shave box out of a bamboo tea box. It's a big-ish wooden box with wooden compartments. I'm removing some of the compartments to make bigger storage areas. I'm going to mount some foam rubber inside the lid with some thick elastic overtop of it. I'm cutting slots into the foam for the razors to fit in. Basically, when I open it, the razors will be sitting inside the lid, and in the compartments will be aftershave, cream, styptic, bowl, brushes, barber hone, neosporin...everything I need except for a strop. I also have a small cigar box that I'm going to use as a travel kit with a DE razor (when I get it) brush and cream.

It's a great idea because I have little hands running around the house (she just learned to walk yesterday, actually) and my apartment is pretty damp, moreso with the rain that's been drenching the east coast. I need to keep my stuff dry and safe, so it's a perfect setup.

Sorry, but no talk about prospective sales or market research is allowed on the site. If you want to discuss boxes in general that's fine.
