Abstract

Abstract A safety razor case comprising a base tray and cover; the base tray having upwardly extending end walls but no sidewalls, an underlying pedestal for holding the bottom of the tray above a supporting surface, and an upwardly open recess which is contoured to receive and hold a razor. The cover is channel shaped with open ends and downwardly directed sidewalls; the lower edge of each sidewall being provided with a downwardly directed notched tongue for interlocking engagement with registered apertures in the tray, wherein said notched tongues are of different sizes so as not to be interchangeably insertable within the apertures. Thus, the cover can only be joined to the base when the corresponding tongues and apertures are aligned and the stop positioned on the underside of the cover is positioned so as to overlie the head of the safety razor.
