I have a good supply of green baize offcuts if anyone is handy with a sewing machine ...

Good idea Max. Hadn't occurred to me to make your own.
Take one of these felt squares (£1.40), plus a bit of cotton, five minutes work and you'll have a pouch for 3 razors.
I've just dug out mine, did make myself a trenchcoat a few years back...Arrowhead said:I have a good supply of green baize offcuts if anyone is handy with a sewing machine ...

Arrowhead said:Yes, there's some quite classy leather rolls for auger bits available, only thing is that leather and steel aren't a happy combination for long term storage. I reckon the felt socks are a good if not particularly exciting option, but really not the kind of thing you'd spend any money on at all (see location >).
Just out of interest, how many people would be interested in wooden boxes? For how many razors, and what sort of design? They'd lend themselves to small batch production, but as one offs there isn't much point.

Depending on price, I'd be interested in a box for 7 (or 2 boxes of 7), wooden, lined with the felt like tissue (the green stuff you wrapped mine in), with 7 slots.
I've been toying with the idea myself, but your skills are way better than mine!
I'd also like to see a false bottom, or a side/top compartment where I can put a few silicia gel sachets.

Might well do, I think it would be nice to line any box.Parwin said:Jeltz said:I'm considering getting into the garage to make a wooden storage/7 day box. The box isn't hard its just knowing how to divide the box or whether to put some kind of holding system in place so they don't rattle around.
Would a peice of foam with the slots cut out to hold the razors not do? A peice of felt is not expensive in the likes of Focus.

I think to keep costs down, a simple top-opening box with a couple of parallel bars with slots in would be the simplest solution (although open to suggestions). For me, I'd want there to be a slot at the back/side or space at the bottom to hold this securely:

It has dimensions in the auction, but I can supply more accurate ones if you want.
