Thread: Where Do You Keep the Regulars?

2Sharp let us know when you start taking orders. Dude that is one nice rack! (that sounds a bit odd...) Anyway, if you decide to make a few, start a thread in the proper area and I suspect you'll get some orders - consider my asking for one with the same number of holders as the one you made.

...and is that a lather heater in the photo?

Thanks Air. With all the projects I have lined up for myself I wouldn't have the time to get into the rack making business. It's pretty simple to just glue together a box and drill holes in a row for the razors to sit in. Double sided tape holds it on the wall. The lather mug is sitting on a Daisy cup warmer and does a great job keeping your lather warm throughout your shave.

mine all sit on a modified CD rack on my shelf

I keep mine on top of the cigar box that stores the 'not ready for prime time players'.

Works for me.

Today I found a fair bit of rust on the last few razors I have used. So now, every morning before I put the razor away I have to hold it infront of the fan for a minute or two to make sure every last bit of moisture is gone.
The razor box will still be fine, but I have to make sure that they are perfectly dry before the are put away.

OIL is a blades best friend. Moisture has a hard time getting to the steel if it is covered in oil. Dry very well then oil. I use mineral oil. You can eat it so I think that it is safe. Takes only 4 very small drops 2 on each side. I oil every blade after every shave and never have seen rust. I wish that everyone throughout time had done this, we would have many more good condition blades to choose from. And remember, THE BLADE THAT YOU SAVE TODAY WILL BECOME SOMEONES GRAND KIDS BLADE FOR TOMORROW.
