Thread: Anyone build their own display case?

Already I can see the need for my own display case. I'll need to get a router though if I want to build something nice....I'm thinking about a glass-door cabinet, mounted to the bathroom wall, with at least three shelves.

Has anyone built their own case? Will you share pics?

Though it's a big thread, there is one called "show us your shave den" that will have some ideas in it.

My straight razor "shave den" is just a wooden cigar box that I lined with a piece of black felt.

Hey, you've got to start somewhere!

Ive made a couple displays. Its not too hard to do. But i will saythat it would be better if you dont hang it in the bathroom. Too much moisture going on in that room, and it could cause you rust issues.

Mine are in a humidor (not seasoned) with a felt pen tray inside. Underneath the tray, I have two large “rechargeable” desiccants to keep the humidity low. The gauge in the humidor reads between 50-60 most of the time. After I shave, I dry the razor thoroughly, apply a few drops of razor oil and put back in the case. Never had a problem.
