    Cool Vintage Travel Case

    I'm a recent arrival to the traditional shave world. Given I've enjoyed DE shaving so much so far, I've been looking around for a travel case for my shaver and other bits of kit. This vintage '50s-era leather case popped up near me (I'm an Aussie) on Fleabay. After much contemplation, I picked it up for the equivalent of US$25.
    Pretty happy with the real thing now its arrived:

    My current DE razor's got a long handle and most of the new and old travel cases I've seen are designed either for something with similar dimensions to the Merkur Classic or actual multi-part-handle travel razors. I'm pretty stoked, given I chose this guy to fit my handle, that it fits pretty snugly:

    I'm going to fill the containers with blades, some soap shards and my natty wee travel brush.

    As a bonus, it's also got a little writing kit on the flip side:
