Reddit reviews Parker Safety Razor, Leather Travel & Protective Case for Double Edge Safety Razors

this is why they make travel cases - https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Safety-Razor-Protective-Parker/dp/B001O8NCI4

You are much better off doing this. Disposable blades are a colossal, sucky ripoff.

So, $83 with money to spare and it's all you need for at least 12 months. The Art of Shaving is neat, but it's grossly overpriced. Clearly they have latched on to the hipster instagrammy nature of society with a price tag to match. I have some of their sandlewood soap and while nice, it's no better than the soap I listed.

It's funny how classic shaving is all of a sudden a trendy thing. All I know is I love it. I came from the 3 NO 4 NO 5 NO a BILLION blade world. It's a joke. Just go old school and take your time. Enjoy the ritual. Baby bottom smooth in 7 minutes. Modern disposable cartridges are a sad scam that society has fallen for. Complete and total scam.

May as well toss this in...especially if you travel. Love mine.

Parker leather razor case - $14

Thats a full year of supplies and a lifetime worth of hardware (minus the badger brush). Think about that for a minute...

I'm on vacation right now, in fact. I just leave the blade in and use a case that completely covers my razor head and I've never had any problems at all.

I've also been using a smaller vintage Travalong razor that packs the head away inside itself in the space of a pack of blades. A cool little piece that gives a surprisingly good shave for as silly looking as it is.

This is what I use. I was cut pretty badly when someone put my safety razor in my toiletries bag, and I reached in blindly not expecting it to be in there. I recommend a soft case like this:

edit: I store used blades in an old medicine bottle.

I haven't had any issues yet (I have a similar one I got from Amazon). But I only use mine for travel (typically only a few days at a time, and only a few times a year).

Otherwise my razor is on a stand.

Edit/Addition: I've had mine for 2 years, and I typically travel with my 34c HD.

That looks like a great case, though I think you meant this matching case for a razor intead, as the one you linked is for a shaving brush. I wouldn't mind getting one of each though personally.

Pity RAD and SAD is so prevalent among us...

i have one of these and i like it:

it's not hard sided, but it gets the job done.

I use this to keep my razor from damaging anything when I throw it in my dopp bag: http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Safety-Razor-Protective-Parker/dp/B001O8NCI4

It's snug, but it'll fit pretty much any longer handled razor with very few exceptions.

I purchased both from amazon but I'm sure you can find them on other sites.

Leather DE razor case

Plastic brush case

On my phone, it sure of this link will take you to Amazon's mobile site. But, it's from Amazon. I don't think there's a chance it'll fit the Futur. But it fits the DE86 nicely.

No lie, I like the razor case a LOT better than the brush case. The brush case doesn't get my nice brush, it gets a coarse horsehair travel brush that I use in emergencies. I have yet to find a really nice case for a brush to travel with.

This safety razor case should do the trick, but you can also go with one of these or even one of these

I use Eagle Creek Pack It Quick Trip Toiletry Organizer, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F9S8YTM/ It packs well for travel and has a mesh side where I can store a damp brush. This is big enough to carry a puck in a ~5oz container, bottle of aftershave, bottle of cologne, brush, razor in case, alum block, toothbrush, nail clippers, comb, and a small jar of pomade.

For protecting the DE, I have this Parker Safety Razor's Felt Lined Genuine Leather Double Edge Safety Razor Protective/Travel Case https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001O8NCI4/ which I highly recommend. It fits a Fat Boy and other similarly sized DE's.

For storing blades, I use two Altoids minis tins. One for new blades, the other for used. I have a blade bank that I keep at home to properly dispose of the blades.

The only thing I haven't quite solved is a bowl for lathering. I don't like the face lather as it screws up my face making it red. So I either make it on my hand, of find a glass, mug, or bowl at my hotel. I'd love to hear ideas to travel with a bowl.

I've yet to fly with this setup. I plan to just throw a disposable in there and empty the DE and Altoids tins. Then pray that I can find a pharmacy that sells DE blades at my destination.

Good luck and safe travels!
