Thread: Leather Razor Pouches

MickR, I use approx. 1/16" soft leather. Good sources are flea markets and thrift shops for ladies' handbags. They can be had for sometimes less than $1 and they are made from soft and fancy leather. After I sharpened the comb I am able to press by hand all the way through two layers. I use a rocking motion with pressure and have a wood plank for an anvil to press into. The layers can be worked amongst the tines to make decisive holes all the way through.

The pouches are simple matters of just folding leather over the razors and stitching along the open side. Each pouch is custom fit to each individual razor-a form fit. The ends are left open so that no moisture is trapped inside the pouch. Once the razor is slipped inside the pouch, it stays put until it needs to be maneuvered up and out of the pouch.

I started doing this because I like to carry a razor or two whenever we go to social events. Razors are indeed conversation pieces. I have spread "straightrazorology" around on many occasions. This is indeed a fun interest/hobby/passion/obsession!...
