Have de razor, will travel

[tlentz]

I am new to DE shaving and just wondering what is the best way to pack your razor to prevent damage. Are there razor cases out there that anyone recommends? I have an EJ DE89 and wondering what is the best case whether it be one that is specifically made to be a travel case or something that others may have adapted to be a travel case. Thanks for your help.

I use a mint tin lined with bubble wrap, and I have heard that others use eye glass cases to the same effect.

This is the leather Edwin Jagger case. It holds the razor and two blade packs.

Or you can make one out of a mint tin. I made this one recently.

All good ideas guys, thanks! Love the EJ case, how much is that?

Here is the link to the EJ razor case.
Note that they have two sizes. The "standard" is for razors with longer handles, like their Chatsworth.
The "short" is for razors like thier DE86 / DE87 / DE89.

Thanks, this might be the way to go, my mint tin was too short.

Ok, that's really cool. What kind of tin is that? So much more interesting than an regular old Altoids tin.

It started life as one of these:

I distressed it to make it look older. I plan on making a few more with the
other animals soon. I have the dragon and polar bear tins waiting in the wings.

That's a cool tin, do you think a DE89 would fit in there?

+1 Great case. It holds everything from a Slim to a Fat Boy. It was one of the better travel accessories I've ever purchased.

Yes, the EJ fits.
