Recommend me a case for Parker Variant

[Umma2gumma]

I am looking for a case to store my new Parker Variant in. Something that is protective, portable, not too expensive, not too ugly , and won't be damaged by water or alcohol.

I wash my razors and spray a little rubbing alcohol on them after each use, and I can't leave them drying on the countertop because of kids, so I quickly air or towel dry them the best I can and put in the plastic cases they came in. Parker did not come with a case.

There's plenty of cases on eBay and Amazon but a lot of them are leather (or faux leather) and I am concerned with long term durability.

When I had mine I bought the Parker LP3 Leather case, it fitted right and it has a good finish, found it at a good price in Amazon

Hello,

look for a tin box (something like Altoids, but there are numerous unbranded ones in many colors), old or new, that will fit the razor. Get some foam/wood/velvet and line the case to your taste, enjoy.
Isn’t there too much water left in the shaft to pack it away directly after use?

I don't have any major water issues with a 3-piece Baili. 2-piece may be a different animal...

I use one like this in the Dopp bag.

Would you have a place where you might place a test tube holder out of the children's reach? If so, these make excellent racks for razors.

I also saw those racks, if they would be good at home, or so it seems to me
As far as a protective carrying case travel with I'm looking at everybody's options because I'd like to have a good option two. Myself I don't like the ones with the metal snap, but do look like the ones I posted previously with the leather strap that fits in the other leather, so far that would be my pick I think.

Put them on a shelf out of reach; after daily use they should dry in the open air.

We share a shower cabinet with my wife... that's the only one above the sink. Not too much space left, and a disassembled razor would not fly too well. Or rather, it might fly inadvertently. I can of course "relocate" some of her creams and makeup but I am not ready to die just yet

I don't have a Variant, but I found a bunch of cases on Aliexpress Buy double edge razor case and get free shipping on AliExpress.com. Some are leather, but most are easily cleaned, portable, and insanely reasonable. The one with PU Leather (faux leather) is especially nice.

Well, so many options I need to sleep on this for a bit... for now it resides in a somewhat oversized metal box from a Marvel toy, which at least looks different... I am debating whether this razor will travel with me anywhere, if it does I will certainly need a case.

I like those small drawstring velvet bags for travel. Very handy as added protection in a tin, or loose in a dopp bag.
