Thread: Making a roll-up for razors....

Hey guys, I need some advice. I want to make a roll-up but for the inside piece I would like it to be transparent like a clear acetate/vinyl. What material should I use and can you suggest a source.

This is what I am talking about.........

Would acetate/Vinyl be a good choice?? might trap water,think maybe something that can breath might be better JMO

Couldn't you use some kind of "netting" for the inside material? It would make the razors visible and not retain humidity.

How about making one using elastic straps like this instead? Minus all the fancy hardware.....

I have been considering buying of these for travelling to our meets, does anyone use this model? The ebay add says it will hold 60 pocket knives, so potentially 40 razors but I would like to be sure before I buy!
Randy, a member here has a plastic case designed for large art markers to store his razors, you might need 16 of them but they sure are nice! Here is an example, not sure if its the exact one....

I think you could use acetate/vinyl, but would have to have holes or something to allow moisture to escape. Netting sounds better cause it would absorb moisture aswell as allowing it to escape. Something like the idea of moisture wicking clothing that allows air flow, but pulls moisture away from the razors at the same time. I made one from a pencil roll that I took out every other stitch to fit a razor. Made a nice 7day roll.

I like the roll you made/modified but I would replace the bottom inside cloth with the stuff Skipnord mentioned. Then I could see the whole razor and if I made that bottom inside piece narrower it would still prevent the razor from slipping out from the elastic.

I see where you are going. You want a roll that is also a display case when unrolled right?

My goal is that when I open the roll I want to see the razor. Not have it hidden. I think oldblades has some of his razors in roll-ups like this. This is more like what I want...

Whatever you decide to do,The roll needs to breath,all scales of any natural material/wood,horn.bone, ivory.have water content that needs to move with temp and humidity changes.
