Weak design
the good:
- it holds 2 blades well protected
- kind of complements the great, minimal silicon cover for the razor
the bad:
- I switch blades each shave, and opening it is a hassle. So I end up leaving it open
- when it's sitting open on the counter the hinge swings the top to the left, so it takes up lots of counter space. It would be better if the hinge pivoted across the top or the top just pulled off so I could place the top under the bottom, either flipped over or not. I've detached the top from the bottom, but it's a hassle to re-attach and not stable.
- I travel a lot. This case has a significant margin around the blades. and top to bottom. It looks nice, but it takes up valuable packing space. It's so big I wish I didn't have to carry it.
- Both blades are positioned in the same orientation, looking like DD. If the sharp ends of the 2 blades faced each other, looking like CD, the container could be smaller and more of a pill shape, reducing the space it takes up. This would work well with a cover that pulls completely off and goes underneath.
- The closed bottom means that there's a lot of empty air inside the box under the inner bottom that holds the blades. The bottom can be open. That would let me pack better.
- The material is hard plastic. It's fine, but if the top was silicon, packability and durability would be even better.
