Give all those razors some love! Shave with all of them at the same time. 10 strokes for each razor and you have your entire face shaved in no time. What do you think about that?

You may kid but sometimes if I have restored or even honed more than one I will shave with 2 or more at a time. Half my face with one, half with the other, or third or whatever.

I've gone as far as to test shave 3 in one shave. But for my razor collection, I'd have to shave with each about a 1/4 inch before grabbing the next plus do three passes. Then think of the time for cleaning and stropping them all again. Make my arm hurt thinking about it.

Am I really the 1st to weigh in on Jerry's "wench-holder"? I sure would like to have me one of them! (I'm just funnin' with our beloved Gasman-you are the king of the boxes, Jerry!). Now I feel like my razors are slumming in my cigar box.

Just remember i stole the idea from Tom. I made mine. Strips of wood cut with a chop saw. It wasn't too difficult. Just angle the saw to 45 degrees.

I have made a few display cases for two plus a couple for five and seven. I have gone to the complicated end of the spectrum.




It’s kind of about how much time do you want to spend and how complicated to want the design. Come the end of the day it’s sort of about what makes you happy. I enjoy the process of making the boxes and liners. It’s kind of like doing puzzles.

Nice work, Shaun!

Step away for a couple days and boom, lovely boxes everywhere...nicely done all of you.

Was waiting for some parts for my Packwood (and it's been really hot in my garage) so I decided to grind away on the Fredrick Reynolds with the cracked tip that seemed to be destined for wind chime duty. Lo and behold It may live again!. I got to clean steel at the edge and there is one small nick and a few pits left on the bevel. One more good session after I re-flatten my bevel set stone may bring it back The picture is one of three similar areas on the bevel. I'll finish the Packwood first, but this will definitely be my next project. Kind of excited this might live again.

All this drawer and box talk is giving me case envy

Lots of ways to keep them....Unique boxes are cool



I like open displays the best. Where they can be seen without opening a box.
