    Ever since I made a handle for a three piece razor (Shooter's Travel Shave Kit), I've been wanting to do one for a Schick razor. Recently I found a seller selling a Schick G with case and handle that was damaged by heat. So I jumped on it and for less than $5.00 shipped I got them. I was able to repair the case and use it for one of my Schick G razors. And I also had a head to use for my new handle. Today I received some rifle brass from @Jrdelgado and decided that a 30-06 brass case was perfect. A short handle Schick can also be made with .308 brass, maybe I will make one if I can get another damaged Schick. Or just take one off from a cheap razor. First pic showing what I used..........

    Basically I ground down the handle to pressure fit into the neck of the 30-06 case. Then I added BB's and epoxy for weight and to install the Schick head. I really like the round shape and weight of the new handle. The next two pics showing the finished razor and the total size is just slightly longer than a stock Schick G razor and will fit a regular case. But I might make my own eventually.............

    Nice! The .30-06 seems to lend itself to being used as a razor handle. This was my take on using one to replace a G1 handle.

    Yeah, it works out real nice. As I mentioned above, if I can get another head, cheap, I just might make up one with .308 brass. The shorter handle would work great for a travel razor, and a case of course.

    Lock and load. Nice job Jim. I wonder how a 300 Win Mag case would look?.
