i bought a little red camera case for mine, haven't traveled with it yet.
Do you dress you razor when you travel?

I've been wrapping mine up in a towel but after seeing some of these sweet pictures, I may have to invest in something more functional.
View attachment 344344I just made this today I figure it should travel ok
I used to travel with my Futur in a ziplock bag and alway make sure to change the blade on arrival. Cheap and terribly in-elegant, but it worked.
My new Merkur travel razor came with it's own case -- no problems there!

I use a soap travel box...cheap and you can fit a razor, a few boxes of blades, a styptic pencil and have a little room left over. Works perfectly to keep your gear together and not banging around the kit.
I also have the metal Muhle case pictured above, and I stick it in my Saddleback travel case.
I had a cell phone have a Zagg screen protector at the mall, and they gave me a tie-bag made from microfiber(that same material they make lens cleaners out of). Turns out it works great for carrying a razor, and looks pretty cool too (black bag with yellow tie string).
I use the B&B leather razor case.
I see some of you do too.

+1 The West Coast Shaving case works very well. It holds everything from a Slim, to a Fatboy. It also protects the blade and the contents of your shave kit.
That Pinsel case is beautiful!
I bought the Edwin Jagger case - I figure that a sharp razor is not what I want loose and free inside a bag that I will reach into with my bare hands. I went with the EJ because I only plan on buying 1 travel case ever and, darn it, for $30 more than the simpler leather cases it looked darn sharp.
The other option would be a tin with some foam/cloth covering, but that's too much work for me - I have too many other things I need to do as it is!
'nuff said.

Oh yeah. Fabulous!
This one does it for me: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001O8NCI4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Merkur leather travel case for the DE. That goes into a Col Littleton shave kit. Very happy with both.
I use the little pouch that came with the razor. Although, after reading this thread, I'm really digging the idea of putting that into an empty soap container. That way I can fit the razor, a box or two of blades, styptic matches, maybe a sampler or two of AS, and I may could even squeeze in my alum block. That would keep all of that right there together rather than in different pockets of the dopp.
My fathandle Tech stays in the case it was given to me in. My friend was cleaning out a house (he loves finding old tins) and found an old Curad bandage tin, inside was the fathandle Tech with a bit of paper towel stuffed in the bottom around the head. The only thing I've changed is tossing a pack of Derbys in. That usually either ends up and a pocket of my backpack or in my green canvas dopp bag from the PX
I got tired of wrapping my DE in toilet paper and ordered a case(Merkur). Wish I had seen this first and saved $7. That is the best idea I've seen recently.

Plastic travel soap container.
I compensate by putting THAT into a lovely Penhaligon's dopp kit SWMBO bought me...
