I don’t have photos of those actual pouches with razors in but this one is the same size. This is a smaller version for smaller DE razors Quote
Members Tugadude Posted January 30, 2018 Members Report Posted January 30, 2018 Very, very nice! I like the edge creasing. I try to incorporate creases whenever appropriate or practical. I think it adds a nice flair. I wanted to see one "loaded" to picture how much of the flap was able to extend past the strap. I think it looks plenty secure. Did you use Tan-Kote or similar on the inside? Thanks for the extra pics and for sharing your fine work. Quote
Members Tugadude Posted January 30, 2018 Members Report Posted January 30, 2018 FWIW, I have that exact DE razor. Edwin Jagger with the Barley finish. I've been wet shaving for about three years now. Wish I knew about it sooner and I could have used the savings on more leather tools! Quote

On these ones I used tan kote but recently I’ve been using tokonole burnishing gum which gives me a smoother glossier finish. Quote

I actually only bought some DE razors so I could make some of these, I have however been using straight razors for over 2 years and your right there’s quite a saving to be made. It was after I did some similar pouches for my straight razors that I decided to attempt some for the DE razors. Quote
Members Tugadude Posted January 30, 2018 Members Report Posted January 30, 2018 Well they are very nice, indeed. I've seen similar styles offered on some shaving supply sites but their quality is not even close. I would think you'd find a market for those demanding quality over cheap price. Quote
