Thread: Magnetic display case ever built?

I never been a fan of razors that have a large pull to them primarily from my sanding jig that uses 3 rare earth magnets, & has enough power to sometimes turn a razor into a refrigerator magnet. I use a demagnetizer I liberated from work. A swipe or two across the spine and it renderes it negatively charged.

The above cases are mine,and Yes I use hooks on the toe end.
I cannot see how a razor can have any negitive effect from a weak amt of magnitism.
Try this.With a very fine needle file,create some steel dust.De-grease a razor,Rub the spine over a strop (hard) about 50 times,Until it gets warm,it will pick up the file dust.
I think any time you hone or strop you get a small amt of magnitism.

I agree. I cannot see good or bad from magnetism...I'm not sure it is actually possible to get a razor totally devoid of any magnetism (if you have a sensitive enough means of gauging it)...sort of splitting hairs here. Never the less, it could be used as a marketing ploy...some guys will believe interesting things if you toss out the right big words and have some clever demonstration.

That said, I think I'd get rather annoyed with a razor that snaps the steel dog tag chain up off my chest

My dad paid HUGE money for a mattress with magnets in it for its reported healing abilities...marketing a magnetic razor seems like child's play next to that

So true unit Like magnets on gasoline fuel lines to align the fuel molicules,or copper bracelets to relieve arthritis.

Oh (forehead slap) the fuel line magnet is a MUCH better example than mine!

Sorry for the thread drift.

I dig those cases though. The magnet tail holder is a great solution

Razors definitely get magnetized. I see it again and again when I use a magnetic sanding jig. It seems to wear off fairly quickly though. None of them would have stayed on the refrigerator for very long. Having them hang on a magnetic year in and year out might make them more magnetic.

Then again, as stated earlier, does it matter if a razor is magnetic? Just make sure your son/nephew/younger brother with braces doesn't use it! His mother would never forgive you.
