    I normally have 7 - 9 out at a time in rotation. After I use one, the blade is rinsed, wiped dry and left open on the counter while I finish getting ready. Those razors sit on a piece of marble on the counter in my Bathroom area, (Shave den) or whatever you want to call it. It's a rather large room. The shower and restroom are seperate. I used to keep camelia oil on the ones in rotation, but it turned out to be a waste. I just wound up wiping it back off when I got to that razor. Humidity is not an issue. Razor's not in rotation have a light coating of Camelia oil on the blade. They are stored in their respective boxes or Barber's box in a walk in closet which has become a shave den.
    We have assumed control !

    I apply baby oil with a q-tip, then it goes on my brush-razor stand

    After being in a rush one evening, I put my razor away thinking it was completely dry. Well the next day spots of rust appeared on it, needless to say I now use food grade mineral oil on it, after shaving and stropping. It then goes back in its case outside the bathroom.

    After shaving i rinse my blade in hot water, wipe it dry and leave it open all day while im at work. When i get home from work i put a very light coating of baby oil on it, close it up and but it in its box (if i have one). Then i pull my razor out i plan on using the next day, and start the process all over again.

    I also do 15 passes on linen/latigo right after wiping the blade off.

    Interesting question, since my wife just handed me an odd item... A "flower frog" she called it. So, for now, for $3.50 I'm putting my razors in a device made to hold flowers, and submerged in water.

    Before putting them there, after a shave... clean and dry and coat with mineral oil.

    I have a shelf in my closet that I leave my razors on. I clean and dry them after use, then leave them open overnight to dry. close them up in the am and repeat with the next one.

    I store them in the very nice box GibII made me. That is... after a light stropping on linen and then the leather.

    I dry mine with toilet paper and apply a coating of silicone spray and store them in a drawer. Easy, practical and safe.

    This is good to know. I just got a nice piece of wood I finished with teak oil. I plan on making a version of the 7 day razor rack with a brush holder on it.

    I dry it, put it in the case it came in and set it on top of the coticule I use to sharpen it and that sits on top of my mug. No problems. Storing the razor with the coticule helps me avoid the sin of letting the edge get dull.
