    I have a big tub that I keep my synthetics in, just cover with cloth to prevent dust and small particles from getting on the surface.
    My naturals are in stackable plastic boxes.

    I let them sit until dry and put them back in the plastic box they came in. Nortons, by the way.

    And, on a completely different subject, I'm drooling and green with envy over pixelfixed's lathe! Nice one, bro!

    Maybe I'm doing the wrong thing, but I keep mine in a sealed container full of water.
    I haven't had any issues (yet) and they're ready for use at a moments notice
    Hang on and enjoy the ride...

    I've seen in Glen's videos that he keeps his in a bucket of water with a spoonful of bleach. If it's good for him, it's good enough for me.

    @pixelfixed

    I've a weakness for American machine tools myself - I'm an engineer that secretly wishes to be a machinist - and am particularly fond of circa 1950s to early 1960s South Bend lathes, and that one is a beauty. I have a small one I suspect is a Sears, but it has been through the ringer and I haven't had the time (or is it skills?) to true it up and put it in proper trim. Not to mention the missing parts. Much like some of my razors, I fell in love what it could be rather that what it is.

    I have a wooden cabinet on my bedroom wall that shows everything inside through a glass door. I have my brushes, straights, and nice natural hones (eschers, coticules, jnats, etc) inside. The not so pretty stones such as Norton 4/8, Naniwa 12, and Naniwa 1K are in a drawer in my dresser after they dry.

    Yea, that's me too... The Norton gets proped up sideways on the box it came in long enough to dry out - then in the box. When I get something finer I guess it'll be about the same.
