Safe Shipping Ideas for Kamisori and Non-Folding razors
So I was doing some honing and thought that perhaps taking a few pics of how I pack up Kamisori style razors might help save a few edges..

First I cut out a piece of cardboard that fits the razor, and a heavy bond piece of note paper

I cut the paper to just oversize to the edge and blade when folded

I use Blue Painters tape because it removes with no residue, I fold the heavy paper so that the edge is actually not touching the folded paper it is suspended inside because of the tape along the spine

Finally I tape the entire setup to the cardboard which is then wrapped in bubble wrap and tucked into a box to keep it from shifting around

Note that I try and never let tape touch the blade or near the edge, if you wrap the razor first then tape, or like some of you guys do, use rubber bands, it is way easier on any style razor especially during the hot months..
Just some ways I have found that have worked, maybe they will give you some good ideas which please feel free to share here..
