First upload with Flickr, think I prefer photobucket for ease of use, but my phone us set up for Flickr.
Anyway, a brief review. This is the Mühle R99 travel case, with my EJ De89bl. Case has a wooden insert for the razor and a flip section to hold a pack of blades. The case holds the razor snugly once closed, and nothing rattles inside (the wooden insert will need very slight buffing with a Dremel type thing, as one of the rings on the razor handle means it doesn't sit quite right - but this is a tiny detail)
The case came with plenty of additional stuff, leaflets about shaving techniques, other products available, two copies (shown) of the Shaving Mirror magazine -who says Germans have no sense of humour! The tiny shaving brush pictured also came with the case, and is presumably intended for hobbits to lather up with.
I ordered online from the manufacturer's website, after a couple of email enquiries, which were dealt with very efficiently. Delivery was within 4 days, the case came in a white cardboard box, which was then placed inside a larger box with the other material, packed out with tissue paper to ensure a snug fit.
Build quality is good - my pictures don't really do it justice. It really is very nice to look at.
All in all, highly recommended - ideal for travelling or if you wish to make a presentation box for a shaving convert.
