Does anyone here make custom boxes for their razors? I'm really excited about getting into restoration as a hobby in the spring, and as I was reading the thread in "General" about using locking humidors, etc. for razor storage, I was thinking how neat it would be to make a little box for said razor.

I am not at all handy, unfortunately, and if I were at home I'd visit Lowe's or Home Depot or something and talk to someone who knows about wood. Don't really have anyone like that here though, so I thought I'd ask...what type of wood would make a good box (or maybe just box liner)? I'd like to make a little box or boxes which lock shut, so they would need to help dry the razor, I'd imagine.

One thing that puzzles me is the humidor suggestions -- my dad smokes cigars and I do not, but it seems that humidors help maintain the cigar's freshness by both drying moist air and...wetting? humidiating? whatever, dry air. It seems like for a razor you would conversely just want to dry it out as much as possible.

Another thought that just occurred to me is making the box out of whatever looks neat and engineering a place for a silica gel packet, perhaps in the top lid of the box...hmm.

Any thoughts to go along with my random rambling?
