Some cool ideas. Makes me want to get 10 more razors to make an even dozen, so I culd fill up a canvas chisel roll.
Easy and cheap way to carry my straights

I think a saw a few of those (Copic) on ebay... I'm pretty sure that one can find those locally or something very close!
Very nice. I use a pen roll I picked up from Lee Valley for $10, holds 18 str8 razors, works well.

Time to update the pictures!
All shave ready except the one on the far right at the back...
I probably have 2 or 3 straights that I might sell in there but I'm still unsure. I still have room but I also have some straights that are not in the pouch and others that are in the process of being restored...

Nice! I'm looking for something for my growing collection. Can I ask where you found that?

Sure, I went to an art & craft shop (where they sell paint brushes, canvas, crayons, etc). I did a few shops around Melbourne and finally bought one (the price didn't vary much)... I was looking for a roll pouch but this is as good!

Leave it to those with purpose driven minds to innovate and adapt.
Well played.

Wow! What a great idea.
Q: how well does it handle wider, e.g. 7/8, 8/8, blades? They go in and out easily or do you have to fiddle with 'em?

I don't have any 8/8 but I have a few 7/8 and 13/16 that I would consider big.
Most of the compartments are the same size and fit a 5/8-6/8 very easily. I have a few compartments that are a bit bigger and this is where I put the bigger one. They seem to be randomly distributed. The razor is tight sometimes but if I push it out a few times, it becomes easier.
I can always push at the bottom of the compartment to get the razor out.
Great idea!
I'm wondering if something like this could be found in an artist supply store. They have all sorts of gizmos to store marker pens, brushes, etc.
After reading this a few months ago, I bought one of these off of EBAY for $12 to $15 USD - works great.

I should actually update this thread with more recent pictures as it's almost full now...
WOW. So glad you PMed me Luc and I stumbled across this post. Best storage option for traveling with straights I've ever seen.
I'm interested. Do you think it will accommodate my #14 Filharmonica and my 8/8 W&B meat cleaver?

I got large blades in there, most of them are 6/8 and 13/16 but I do have a 7/8 and 8/8 that fits in there. Not all openings are the same size so I can play with them.
I prefer to carry my straights the Bad Bad Leroy Brown method:
