I was in The Container Store over the holiday and ran across a bag that looks like a decent straight shave kit bag. It has the brand name celebrity written on the zipper pulls and was being sold as a make-up brush bag.

Here it is:

The Good-
1) A six pocket center section covered by a flap that fit a variety of razors sized from 5/8-7/8
2) Two additional zippered pockets to contain repacked shaving supplies (top one: 3"x6" and flat. Bottom one 6"x10"x0.5")
3) A hang hook
4) Fairly compact at 7"x11"x2.25" reasonably stuffed (shave gear, six razors, deodorant, t-brush, etc)
5) The price, $20 and on sale for 15 when I got it.

The Bad-
1) Not hard sided
2) Too small for the brush and a rolled up strop ( I got a separate container for those two)
3) Thinner razors could slide out of the pockets during travel (most of mine where a tight fit but the wapi slides when I shake it out)
4) A lot of moisture trapping plastic that I might perforate.

The Ugly-
1) The inside is Bright Blue

Misc-

I might use this inside a metal poker chip case as an insert. That way I can carry my strop and brush in the same case and it will have the protection of the hard case.
The small nalgene dropper bottles and plastic pots were all found at the container store as well.
I have glycerine, pre-shave oil, and ASB in the dropper bottles, shave creme in the small pot (about 6 snurdles worth) and em's alum block in the larger pot.
