I was just looking at some pen cases because of this post, Amazon has some nice ones.

Just before I indulged my need for instant gratification though, I thought about the different ideas around storage. Right now, all my razors are in silicone socks, in order for them to function as specified, they need to be not in an sealed space, so that any potential moisture can be drawn away from them.

So, having them in an enclosed case would defeat that. On the other hand, I could put them in the case with a 40 gram silicone canister to also ensure a moisture free environment.

Decisions, decisions...something else now to take me down the razor worm-hole....

Nice work and they look nice and tidy in the case.

I will say this... The seal is not air tight so air can escape and the clear panels are not sealed into the frame just riveted on so air can escape around there... A couple of silica packets and you shouldn't have a problem... The fabric is polyester so it doesn't absorb much water

I eventually plan on making a plate to replace the branded plate on top and have it engraved with my initials or the korean word for horn (bc I'm korean) or my name in korean... Haven't decided

You could also carefully drill some small ventilation holes into the box, around the edge of the perspex maybe

I chose a Humidor, because they are supposed to help regulate a steady environment. Humid environment if you are keeping Cigars in there. However, without a source of moisture, I figured it would help maintain a dry environment as well.
I have had 2 dozen blades in there for almost 3 years without wiping with oil, and I see no signs of pitting/rust etc. I do let the blade air out overnight on top of the box after drying it well manually. (I shave at night) In the AM I put it away. Of course, I had let the box dry in the first place when I bought it.
I recently added a few silicon gel dry packs, just for extra measure.
Incidentally, I also went and looked at pen cases after this post, but wound up back at Humidors. Seemed to me a less expensive option.

Beautiful set
Happy shaving
What is the first set?

Yeah I wanted something that can display the razors... Plus with my cvs discount this only cost me 7 dollars.. have a huge humidor but use a multi drawer took chest for my knives and razors... I feel like cedar is a good environment for keeping things so humidors are great as long as you air it out
