I have used both a large pill container from a pharmacy (if you ask, they will give you one or sell it for a small fee) and even the cardboard from a roll of toilet paper (put the brush in and stuff toilet paper in both ends). Both work well.

There are a couple of sturdy and extremely cheap DIY solutions using PVC pipe in this thread. Almost no brainpower or manual dexterity required to make them.

My Viking Chieftain's box, will serve as a travel box for the razor, and blades, when our next trip occurs.

My travel setup fits neatly in my Dopp kit:
La Toja shave stick (also great at home)
Wee Scot brush in a pill container from my pharmacy
Razor in a leather case from WCS
Small plastic container for AS

(Hope to get back to traveling once the pandemic lets up here!!)

Altoids tin with my custom foam insert. Works flawlessly.

I have several tubes like that in various sizes depending on the brush. Although sourced from several sources, the most dependable one is McMaster-Carr in their shipping tube listings. I call on several machine shops where these tubes are what many of their end mills and other tooling are shipped in. The ones I get need to have ventilation holes drilled.

I drilled a few vent holes in my pill bottle. I travel with a Synthetic and sometimes have to leave the hotel before it's fully dry.

I have one of those tiny synthetic brushes from Maggard’s Shaving. It’s no bigger than a Wee Scott really. I found it fits perfectly inside the empty tube of a La Toja Shave Stick.

Wait. Time out. What's wrong with saving the original factory box the brush came in, and using it to transport the brush when one takes a trip???

When I travel, for any 24mm+ brush, I use the flimsy, airy plastic box one of them came in.

I also have a Wee Scot and a 22 mm AP Shave SynBad that easily fit(s) in an old pill bottle too.

 

[OkieStubble]

That plastic box looks huge compared to a small bottle?

Works well for me.

The OP was asking about brush transportation; I don't think the Altoids tin would store a brush, great for a razor though.

If the brush is still wet, you need a container that allows it to further dry to prevent mildew.

I use a pill case from the pharmacy and drilled a few holes in the cap.

Brother Clay,

You are correct and I understand. My factory brush box has openings for ventilation. Regardless, a brush should be lightly dried with a towel and hair dryer (badger hair is hair, is it not?) after use, and before packing in a suit case. I've had zero problems.

I also would suggest a "container" is not necessary. Lightly dry the brush with a hair dryer and neatly tuck it into a suitcase corner. Works for me over many decades.

I used my "bamboo Pen curtain".

I have used an empty seasoning container like this one. The cap has a flap that flips up with holes underneath. I just took the flap off.​

Congratulations on your new travel case (and synthetic brush and stand), Blue Spark.

I know you got the set just for the travel case... but how is the brush?

 

[Scaramouche]

I've carried this one pretty much around the world....
