    Default WTB Seven-day straight razor case

    I am tempted by leather etuis or rolls but doesn't leather attract moisture and would anyone recommend leather for regular storage?

    The alternative seems to me to be a case like this!

    Madagascar Rosewood 7-Day Premier Set

    Does anyone know of such cases for sale or made to order, perhaps.

    (I travel quite a lot and would like to take a number of razors with me and use from the case over extended periods of time)

    Your help will be appreciated.

    I don't know where you're located, so this might not be too interesting for you but
    The Shaving and Razor Shop (Antwerp, Belgium) offer various boxes and cases.

    My opinion is that leather is fine for travel but not long term storage (like months) I have never known leather to attract moister the bigger issue would be making sure you put the razor in the leather case completely dry. If you put a wet razor in a leather case the leather will absorbs the moister and takes a long time to dry out. If you are rotating razors daily drying your razors before putting them away and maybe useing a light oil on the blades Leather should cause no real issues.
