Thread: My razor collection

Post some pictures of what comes out. Any ideas of what species would make the best box I know that coin collectors like mahogany because of low acid content I guess for razors won't matter that much ?

Gss how does that box open?

Take a look at the series of videos posted by unseen on YouTube (undream22 - YouTube) where he takes you through the restoration of a straight razor start to finish. That will give you a ton of ideas on how to make a set of scales using power tools and a good bit of hand sanding.

If you want to see not only my ideas but many others for "Shave Dens" and accessories check out this thread

(The reason it says "Again" is back at the end of 2007 the entire site crashed and we lost a few threads"

Do you guys do anything special to lower the humidity in those cases? Or is it OK as-is???

Dessicant, Lots of dessicant!
