Thanked: 10Where Do You Guys Store Your Razors?
I'm wondering where you folks all store your razors? The ones in your weekly rotation? The ones that you might have in a two week rotation and the ones of course that you just like to look at?
I would like to put a cabinet with a glass door on it for say a weekly rotation and mount it in our ensuite which is where I shave. I'm retired and my wife is almost there. Kids are grown and all the grandkids are old enough to know the no-touche rule. However that doesn't account for the 'I'm curious as hell' rule.
I would just like to have at the very least my weekly rotation on display where I shave. We don't use the ensuite to shower, we use the main shower so not much worry off a lot of humidity. Just curious what other folks do.
For years all my razors sat in a clump in a locking cabinet in my office in the basement.
Ideas thoughts suggestions and pics would be awesome!
Thank you all in advance

I've got 2 main locations for my razors in rotation:
1. For most of my real "lookers," a cabinet I got from a guy on Etsy Christmas before last.
2. I keep about 20 others in a nice cigar box with the 10-compartment trays that work just perfectly for razors:
Of course I've got a number of others in various sleeves, holders and roll-up carriers, plus another bunch around my drawers and shop in various stages of assembly/disassembly-probably time to sell a few. Got some hones I need to fund anyway!There are many roads to sharp.

Thanked: 10Wow! nice looking storage. All of them. I don't have a whole lot of space something self contained like Bouschie has, my wife could live with. That cigar box idea is a good idea. That might work too. Something larger and more elaborate would have to go in my office/cave in the basement. If I nail an old cigar box to the wall though I'm sure I'll never hear the end of it.
You guys have some way cool stuff in your razor stash storage though. Mine would look pretty utilitarian by comparison. I have one shaving bowl/scuttle. Bouschie, by the looks of what I can see in the pic you posted I count six!!! I'm lucky to get away with one on the counter top.Last edited by theoldguy53; 02-23-2020 at 07:08 PM.

Regular rotation lives here. Most of the rest live in their boxes in a larger velvet lined box and projects in various other boxes. Sad to say I don't currently have a display case.Iron by iron is sharpened, And a man sharpens the face of his friend. PR 27:17

Love that Henkels display Shawn! The razors in there are also not too shabby.
