This month it’s already Movember again so I am growing a mustache and try to raise some funds for prostate cancer research and other men’s health related topics. But that can’t be the main topic of this video, so I will also make a shaving related leather item: a cover for my safety razor. I got this double edge razor from my sister for my most recent birthday. It’s the environmental alternative to the cartridge razors, but the blade is open. That’s why I’m making this leather cover to protect it while on the road. This is a really easy leather working project. I made it even more easy for you if you download the template from my website, see the link below. This leather safety razor cover will is designed for the King C. Gillette double edge safety razor. It will fit most other razors as well since they are all designed to use the standard double edge blade.
