Thread: vintage travel straight razor box

So, i was at an antique shop about 1-2 weeks ago, and next to the few straights they have is a box.

I grab it to take a look at it and it is like a basic vintage razor box in construction, but it was about 3 or 4 inches square and about the length of a razor box.
inside the box is a bunch of different sized slots, one was size of a straight razor box, there is one with what looked like 2 brushes (not shaving brushes), a slot for a small strop (which was in there), and then one or 2 other slots, of which I know a shave brush could fit in. there was another slot on the side as well that had i believe a mirror in it (i didn't take it out).

has anyone else seen one of these? I have been searching the web and cant find any information on it. the box is calling my to buy it, but since I am a broke college student, i cant make myself buy it......unless it turns out to be something real special

any information would be great if anyone has any ideas on what it is

on a side note, i found this while searching......good price Vintage Straight Razor | Dovo Razors | 50% off Wet Shaving Set with German Made DOVO Solingen Straight Razor | VintageStraightRazor.com

Pictures would be nice.

Next time I am back over there, I will grab some pictures

then go from there

i was really rather curious about it, as it is definitely something I havent ever seen before

Nice site. Seems almost too good to be true.

Well it took me a while, but I finally got back to the shop with the box ad Rey still had it

Is napped a few pics with my phone, so here they are

Closed from the side


open from the top


The small piece is covered in leather like its a small paddle strop
There are actually 2 brushes in there as well, asking price is 45

I may ask him to toss a razor in with it if I decide to try for it. His razors aren't great, but have decent blades or seems like.

That site you link to has a horrible reputation. Do that math on what he is selling

Dovo razor on SRD 79.00
VDH set at local B&M 10.00
Professional hand honed - From what I hear that will not happen from them
Lifetime Honing not worth the paper the deal written on

Ya, I figure that about the link, never ordered from there thankfully

I have better anyways now, I am more interested in the box than anything else though, I finally got pictures lol
