    Today I received an empty metal case from @Jrdelgado that he wanted lined for his English Tech. I thought about mimicking a vintage Gillette case with a spot for either a blade bank or a tuck of blades. Even tho the length and width are close, it wasn't high enough to place it on it's edge because the case wouldn't close. I still wanted to have a spot for some blades because after all it's for travel. So I came up with the idea of placing them under the handle of the razor, without the box, as the case still wouldn't close properly. I used a purple satin material to line the inside edges and for the top cover. For the rest, I used purple felt, both similar to what was used in earlier Gillette cases. And after going through some ideas, I came up with this, using a Tech of mine for the second pic..............

    I have looked at several sets to take when I travel. I love the flat bottom tech. I have 2. But I didn’t want to take the factory case as it is too nice and one didn’t have a case. You did a great job on it. More than I expected! Thank you.
