Does anyone make reproduction or new cardboard boxes for straight razors? All of the old razors I have that have the old cardboard boxes they're to the point what I don't want to use them for travel. I would like to have a new box that I could use to transport my straight razor in for when I travel.

You can buy boxes all day long on eBay. They generally speaking have little to no value. A toothbrush holder may work for traveling depending on the size of your razor. 5/8 should fit, and some 6/8 fit. Anything larger and you'll need a box
I don't know of anywhere that you can buy new boxes, but the manufacturers still make another. Another option is a razor sheath. They tend to be more expensive, but if you want something specifically for a razor thats an option

This is working out well for me.
$16 for the box, a couple of bucks for the leather I glued to the bottom for a strop.

I bought a vintage cigar box off the popular auction website for 9 dollars shipped. My gun safe came with bigger than average slica gel packets, like the size of hand warmers, so I put one of those in the box with em. Works great
Wow, those boxes are nice.
I stopped at a Binny's (large liquor store that I get supplies from) and they have an extensive cigar section. The empty boxes are sold for $2.00 or so and they are beautiful.
I think I'm going to go the same route but use this empty Gurkha box. is there a specific type of leather I should use?
Just about any smooth leather should do.
I agree. I get mine from a Tandy Leather Shop which is in my town. I like to go in and hand pick the leather. Some of it has blemishes that might interfere with the blade - or, at the very least, be ugly - so I cull those pieces out. Once selected, I mount it if making a paddle and treat it with oil (just about any oil will work, I use a leather dressing or neatsfoot Oil). Mount it with rubber cement.
