Thread: Where Do You Guys Store Your Razors?

Smoking pipe racks work similar to the test tube racks.

Harbor freight sell a small chest for machine tools. I almost got one of those until i found out id fill it plus some when i bought it and would still need more room.

I went to the store thinking of buying one of these but when I saw the quality of the display piece I changed my mind.

I would love a vintage one but the price is high on anything I have seen!

Yeah, the only quality modern production chests are the Made in USA Gerstners, and those cost a pretty penny.

A decently priced vintage chest can occasionally be found, I think I paid around 100$ for mine.

Geez I never thought of that. That's a great idea.

I found this on Kijiji but I'm not sure how I would mount it in the bathroom...


Sorry; I couldn't resist.

I have a relatively affordable cabinet from a bargain furniture store (was in vietnam at the time). i had a friend help make some trays in mdf to hold the razors with a small cnc machine and put these on drawer runners.
it holds about 45 razors - i rotate the bottom tray every few weeks and keep about 5-6 'at the front of the queue'. This lower tray also has a blue (waterproof paint) well, a place I put that days razor, after cleaning with alcohol, stropping and letting it dry laying open, until the next razor is used.
Similar tray is below that holding some of my favourite stones.

These 5-6 razors stay dry for about 2-3 weeks at a time and I keep the others oiled or waxed. I also have 3-4 basic lacquered trinket boxes with waxed razors and dessicant packs in the bottom of another wardrobe, these dont see much daylight and are not used.
The lower drawers are full of soap and the lowest with some maintenance tools like alcohol, cloths, pastes, honing stands/holders, loupe, DMt's etc. I have my daily strops hanging off the left hand side and the opposite side between teh cabinet and the window, i keep pasted strops /portions of strops that are treated away from the regular ones.

although not the most decorative or full of character, this works for me - an airy cupboard, outside the bathroom and in a corner of the bedroom. i have space to strop comfortably as well and all away from little prying hands

This is where I store my collection.....
