@Alum of Potash - I'm currently based in Bavaria, travelling regularly hence the need for a travel strop. I shall try to source an exact replica of the hollow-tensioned strop for travel - it does look splendid, doesn't it!Wow, that's awesome. I have used a couple of small hollow-tensioned strops like that in France, and they will do the trick. Go for an exact replica! Remove the brush and soaps(?) and you have room for a couple of custom-cut finishing hones. Oh yeah!
P.S. I don't know your location, but Ertan at Rasoir-Sabre in France has made and sold hollowed-out paddle strops like that in the past, albeit a bit larger. You might contact him to see if he could make something custom for you.
My TM:
Failing that, a deep enough tin to host a strop like yours @KW Driver looks very practical indeed!
I was thinking about having a similar box made and have it fitted exactly to my equipment (e.g. this Mühle travel brush - what a beauty! A next-generation synthetic fibre that Mühle developed to behave like silvertip badger when it comes to water absorption, softness etc.), a strop, an SR and yes, a piece of soap (face lathering) and alum block for emergencies, then a bottle of aftershave carried separately, since every bottle has a different shape (unless someone knows where I can get a fairly flat, small, rectangular, splash bottle that I could refill with whatever I fancy at before the trip and have a separate compartment for it in the box?). Only the essentials all-in-one box for travel, not merely storage - which I'm assuming is what you meant when you mentioned the finishing hones - unless you meant travelling with the hones...? A box like this to store a stationary set at home is an interesting idea though!Remove the brush and soaps(?) and you have room for a couple of custom-cut finishing hones.
