    An idea for storage, and only an idea... If you happen to have an old DRY cigar humidor. One that has not been used in many years and is totally dry. You could get a small desiccant (may find at a local hardware/drug store) and put the razors and desiccant in the humidor together. If you don't have an old humidor, anything that is air tight with the desiccant will do.

    The humidor/air tight case will keep humidity from the metal and the desiccant will help with the rest.

    Putting a SMALL amount/THIN layer of some kind of pure mineral oil on the blades would also help protect. I don't think that I can stress the words "SMALL" and "THIN" enough. Other members might have better ideas than this. There is a lot of knowledge and experience on this forum and most everyone is very generous with their knowledge.

    Enjoy having such a beautiful display set as what you have and the family history only makes it exponentially more beautiful.

    My above post was done while having technical issues... I had not seen other ideas already addressing this and a good point was made about the scales (not wanting them to get too dry). I did not mean to confuse the issue and I apologize for technical issues.

    They are still beautiful razors. That is NOT reduced by computer issues
