Plan on using this to put all my Imperial razors in after I make some kind of holder for the razors. It's not real (too bad) but its got some nice hinges and looks good.

That’s an awesome box. I love wood boxes. I am curious about this project.
Well, I have 10 different Imperial Razors all with different wood scales. Was hoping to get as many as possible but I know of 2 that I don't have yet. When I get the time to work on this I will post up some pics. Thanks, Shaun.
Looks a lot like a humidor to store cigars,.....beautiful
It probably was a humidor. I have one looking similar. Looks really nice indeed.Quote:

Yes, keep us posted on the finished project. I passed up a similar humidor (the one i found was solid walnut) because i was larger than a razor and i'm always puzzled as to what to do with the extra space (maybe a little OCD too). I guess i want it to look like it was made for razors.
I think it was a humidor. And yes, i think it is Cedar inside. With the way the hinges are it was just to keep junk in so i grabbed it up for $1.99 at goodwill. Sometimes you can find deals there. And i wasnt even looking for it at the time.
That’s a great deal on that humi. Humidors are great for shaving stuff because the cedar just sucks all the humidity in and absorbs it.
I’ve used a humi or two for travel.
Thinking along the lines of Outbacks Racks he makes for his boxes. Now if I got the room for all of them as Sharptonn just sent me another Imperial. :bow
Hmmmm. :thinking: Beginning to understand why some claim the CF Cedarwood / Sandalwood shave cream dries out their skin too much.

That box looks so cool, it gave a good idea as well. I hope to have one in black color.
Uh, Jerry. There's probably more than two, like this one that you don't have.

Hope in the next week or two to pick up a nice piece of wood to put in the box and get started making it. I will make it to hold as many as i can. Even if im short a razor or two. Someday!
Yeah, Jerry, the price will go WAY-UP after that! :D
I've got a few Imperials, and I have no complaints with them. We both have one of the same blades, but yours is in much better condition.

I got a couple of those Mike. I really do like these razors.
Here is the newest one in the collection. got it in the mail today. It's going to need a little work to get rid of some scratches but not bad... Its got a bit of hone ware but for the price, I had to jump on it. This one seems to command a higher price for some reason.

Hoping to get out today and find a nice piece of wood to put in the box to hold the razors. Thinking something dark. Cant make up my mind if I want to cover the cedar in the box with something. Don't think staining it would be a good idea as that would kill its ability to suck up moisture. I think. :shrug:
Well, Here it is. My 14-day set of Imperials. All with different etchings/stamps, dressed in different woods but matching Rosette Collars, Pins and Bones Wedges. A little custom work on the box for an inserts to hold the razors (thanks for the close-up pics of yours Outback). I will be making a chart to put underneath the felt that says what razors have what wood scales. Plus I still need to get 5 of them honed, but the other 9 are shave ready and have been shaved with at least 3 times each.
It was a crazy idea but I just had to do it. Who in the right mind would need a 14-day set beside someone on a month long trip and didn't want to bring a strop. LOL.
Hope you all like it as much as I had fun putting it together over the last year. And thanks to Leonard for helping me find some of these echings as I didn't have many in the beginning.

Thanks for looking and not giving me a hard time about this idea. I'm probably the only one with a 14-day set. Guess I could sell it on eBay for $5K. Somebody would buy it. LOL.
BTW, Tom, I didn't take the scales off of the one you sent me. It's just as it was. The scales were so nice I didn't want to mess with it. I use it. Not like this set. These might get used once in a while but it was just for fun.

It’s nice to finish a big project. It cam together quite nicely. I guess Tom will have to up his game from sets of seven.
Very nice, Jerry! That is lots of work, there.
Enjoy! :tu
Bravo Jerry!:bow
Congratulations and enjoy!
Pete <:-}
(The new benchmark for Tom)
Not ME! 4 -7 day sets is enough! :pQuote:
