1. Randomly found a nice box on amazon..I can't believe I've been looking at crazy expensive humidors. The box is actually not THAT well made, BUT that kinda adds to the whole "vintage and beaten up" look.
2. FINALLY managed to clean the bottles that came with an old vanity box I'd bought, I couldn't get the lids clean but after much searching I found lids that fit.
3. I'm actually thinking of sticking some velcros on the bottles so they don't move around (other side of velcro on bottom of box).
4. Maybe someday I'll either make one or get a nice solid wood box MADE...
Outside:
Inside: Top to Bottom, L to R: Small magnifying Mirror (top/lid), Board Strop, Swaty Barber hone, preshave/postshave oil (black cap), cologne (blue cap), facewash, shaving soap/cream, inner lather bowl, silver brush, Case for the Norris Twins)
The razor "case" actually fits in there really oddly and kinda "wow this seems made for it", the bottom 1/2 inch of the box is actually WIDER than the rest of the box all around, the walls get a bit thinner there...so it literally just goes into a little groove right below the latch.
The case currently holds it's originally intended occupants - the norris twins.
