Magnetic display case ever built?

[Minnebrew]

It would require custom scales but I think it is possible if you incorporate strong enough magnets but has anyone ever made a magnetic display case that would have the razors "floating" without hooks or other method of holding them up?

Had the thought yesterday when I was thinking of how I would like to start creating my display area in the shaving HQ

Any thoughts or has anyone seen this?

What occurs to me is that if a razor, with a metal blade and non-ferrous metal scales is held by magnetism the blade itself will become magnetized. Not a big thing I suppose but there is something about that I don't like. YMMV.

something to play with, I figure I could do the scales a few different ways one way would be to make epoxy scales and have the metal or magnets hidden. I don't see what, if any, effect the blade would get from becoming possibly magnetized. It won't shave any different and the pull couldn't affect the blade surface...Not sure, will find out when I make it with razors I won't be worried if ruined

They have magnetic knife holders for kitchen knives. Maybe you could get a couple of those and mount them.

I'm sure it wouldn't hurt anything. In fact I've seen razors branded 'Carbo Magnetic' IIRC. Maybe a few others marked magnetic on the blade , as if it were a selling point. Maybe attracted to the iron in the blood, pulls the razor to the skin, giving a closer shave.

Here are two photo's i stole from someplace on the net when I was looking for ideas as to what I would do.

You will note that they only use the magnets on the one side - maybe you could "better" that somehow.

Good Luck!!

I would rather appreciate the fact that if somebody slams the door/what ever vibration occurs while living in a house. that my razors weren't all going to go bouncing across the floor
I liked the little hooks under neath and the pin above the scales that held the blade up and presented so to speak in a slightly open position

I cannot see how a razor can have any negitive effect from a weak 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
