Box 31 - A Shaving Box

I saw a box similar to this on the Internet and decided to make my own. I used an old cedar board that I cut up to make the box. I left it rough like the ones I have seen on the net.

Straight Razor Stand

A gentleman in Pennsylvania saw my straight razor stand and contacted me to make him one if possible. As it turned out, it was possible. I was feeling great and had some time. Here it is finished showing off five of my straights. The size and shape of the tang will determine how much the blade is raised and displayed.
