I guess with all the suggestions like yours, I’ll try to start posting some on SOTD.

I looked high and low for a display case that I liked. I found that one on Etsy, and it’s actually advertised as a display case for fountain pens. Standard size razors fit well in each slot, but the Jerry Starks are just a bit too long, so I’ll have to cut a notch in the wood for them to fit properly. Still, I’m very happy with the box. It’s one of life’s daily pleasures to be able to look at them on the bathroom counter every day, I have to say.

I can post some pictures of the ones that were made by Jerry Stark. These are the pictures he took before he shipped them out, so they’re staged very well to show them off. But as is often the case, pictures do not do them justice. And I will admit that I did weep when I saw them, as straight razors sometimes make you do.

The scales on this first one are Spalted Tamarind.

These scales are Desert Ironwood.

The blade here is Feather Damascus, the scales are California Buckeye Burl. The color of the scales is actually darker than it seems in the picture — it must be the lighting — but these scales are pretty stunning.
