    AAww thank you :) I have thought about it :) I love to restore them to their former beauty and collect separated pieces of sets and put them back together :) I am also thinking of creating wooden boxes to keep some of the newer ones in that do not come with a case.

    Making wooden cases for the newer ones or even boxless vintages is a great idea. Sometimes you can get empty cigar boxes from a cigarette/cigar store. I use an "Oliva series G" cigar box to hold some of my brushes. It holds six brushes very nicely.

    I have several sized boxes in mind and will be setting up a line of them from single to multiple razors probably right before Christmas..just trying to decide on stains and colors

    You are so talented! Here's an idea you might consider. I was born in 1955 one of the years Gillette made 3 different Super Speeds (Blue,Silver and Red tip) and would like a case to hold all my birth year razors. So far I have four of them Gillette (ball end tech,blue,silver and red tip SS). I think I still need a few more to have them all. A single cigar sized box to hold all of them would be very nice. I'm sure others would be interested a display box of this type. Just something to think about. :)

    I am about to leave on a house hunting/vacation but when I get back I will start working on a box and you can let me know what you think :)
    Let me know what color stain you might like, how many razor trays for each razor you might like and interior color and I will work on one. PM me with info and I will go from there. I would like to make a few different sizes for 1 and multiple razors.. I could even embroider the inside top of the case with names and dates.

    Thank you :) I am not a vendor yet but if I decide to be I will follow the rules for sure :) Just a hobby of mine to make beautiful items and I am still throwing this idea around. I am in the custom made wedding item business and think that these may be a good addition for grooms gifts :) I was thinking of PIFing my boxes for now
