Thread: Display/cabinet to store razors

While I have never had a problem with my ceramic vase as a holder for my razors that I shave with, I keep thinking that a cabinet would be kind of nice as well.

What I'm looking at is something like a rack at the gunshop, only alot smaller. With a glass door to "lock" them up in. It would hang on the wall like a shadow box with a hinged door, pick the one you want to shave with and close the door.

I'm no wizz with wood so I'm not overly crazy about making this myself (yet), but I do know my way around a wood shop.

Has anyone done this, or knows if something like this is available?

Only seeing the monkey tails every morning is kind of boring, I'd like to see more of them

Chef, I have built one like you are talking about. It actually has a shelf that is about 1/4 inches wide with pegs above. It can hold about 20 razors at one time(two shelves). Lined with black felt, but like I said, I had to build it. I looked around for a while, and could never find one that was built.

would you happen to have any photos? i am wanting to build something to hold my few str8s, and would love to have an idea. nothing to fancy, just something to keep away from the kids with a little bit of style.

Attached is one I use to display a few Ebay survivors. It shows how the razors hang over porcelin pegs. I have two unused cabinets each with three strop hooks but now mug shelves.

Pardon the side ways pic of the cabinets for sale. Let me know if interested. MikeB

sdsquarepoint, i really like the look of that 2nd cabinet. i think one about half that size would be perfect for me. i don't have that much to display or store, but that cabinet looks great for the purpose. i also do not have a large bathroom add more items to, so smaller is better. thanks for the photo and idea.

Nice case, Not fully what I'm looking for but very close. I'll see if I can find a pic of how I want them sitting in the case.I'm Not looking to store them with the blade open. But that sure looks great for a display case.

I have a Gerstner wood box with 4 drawers and felt and velvet lining. I'm able to store about 10-12 razors per drawer and it looks great and has a lock on it. Another option is a place called burlwoodboxes.com they will custom make anything you want and they do great work.

DwarvenChef, are you look for something to hang on the wall or sit on a counter/table? If you are looking for a table-top item, have you considered pen collector cases? Almost always nice wood, glass tops, some mare multi-drawer, felt lined to protect the pens and set up so each pen has its own concave slot. I would check the max length...I thought about it and was going to go that route until I found my case. I was not looking for display, as much as I was for storage. I checked some of my fountain pens against the size of the razors and most were close. The Tis seemed a bit longer due to the monkey tail.
