Recommended travel case for razor?

[mcqueen6]

Hey all. I’m looking for a sturdy, but not too bulking, travel razor case. Given all the resident knowledge on this forum, I thought this might be a good place to post such a question and see what creative DIY cases you guys might have come up with or what commercially purchased cases you recommend. I’m looking for something that can fit a 3” handle one piece vintage Gillette and I’d prefer that the case isn’t so big that it takes up all the space in my dopp. I could always look for the razor’s original case, but in the meantime I’d be curious to see what you are using that you like.

Thanks in advance for your time!

I use this leather holster from Merkur, and I like it very much!

Merkur Double Edge Razor Travel Case

This is a leather razor case that I bought from Waterfield Designs. It has a nice gold liner. My Wolfman fits in the small size just great. Made in San Francisco!

Picked this Leather Travel Case up from Above The Tie. Very functional and not too large. Looks great too. Cheers.

An Altoids tins and a piece of foam.
You can cut out a space for the handle and head, even blades.

WCS has some very attractive leather travel cases IMO.

This is what I use, as well. Couldn't be happier.

Another option is range leather company

Like tenreasy, I also use the waterfield case. This here is my EJ DE89 that is about 3.75" in the "short" case.

Plastic soap box from CVS + a wee scrap of bubble wrap. Under two bucks.

+1. The Waterfield Design one from San Francisco is the one I use, it is perfect. Oftentimes together with this one from Parker - when I bring more than one razor.


...And then sometimes I only bring my lovely travel kit, which is even handier in the gorgeous Gillette bakelite vintage case:

IMHO, the original plastic case is good for home storage or display but they are bulky, brittle and liable to break in your shaving kit while traveling. And hard to replace after the disaster.
Since you say you have a TTO or One Piece razor, the Waterfield or the Merkur or the Parker cases are more practical.
The guy at Frugal Shave 3D prints his products so he might be able to customize one for you with a bit of storage and some rigidity and strength.

That is the stock Waterfield Designs photo. Not sure what razor that is. My Wolfman is .61 gap.
