Thanks Zak - that's good to know....I was thinking I'd be able to get my collection into one box...I'm at about 40-45 razors, so I figure they should fit in easily in their razors socks as well.

Is the pic you posted a Windsor Design?

Yup! It's this one.

And I pack them in like sardines.



Sardines that've been packed with desiccant packets, that is.

Actually, that pic is several months old now and I've significantly reorganized the whole chest. I didn't like the big pile of razors at the top, so I loaded the lower drawers more densely (when that picture was taken, only those two drawers had that many razors in them.

WARNING!

230ish razors in that case weighs about 90 pounds.

Very, very cool....I ordered the same one....so should be no problem with the razors I have and storing them in their socks, as well as the tin desiccant packs I've got....when I got a tape out and measured how big the chest is, it really isn't so big that it's unmanageable, so should sit nicely and safely in a set area....this has been a great thread for me, thanks to the OP...think it started off with a Gerstner machinist box, which I was determined to find, then another member posted the Windsor Deisgns box....gotta love SRP!

I have two....two razors ! Lol. Welcome to SRP.Yeah ,don't worry about the honing yet. When you're ready you will feel it. In the meantime,definitely concentrate on stropping because believe it or not, the better you can strop, the less time honing. Enjoy the ride...there's a good bunch of souls here.

I reckon on of those would be overkill for my 5 razors
But I still want one to put something in. Maybe razors, hones, pens and inks

"I have a beard, so for now I’m only shaving my cheeks and lower portion of my neck; the latter being rather tricky, but I’m getting the hang of it".


Without having read everthing everyone has added and at the risk of repeating something. I learned a tip from an old barber for better control when lathering especially around ears and noses, so I guess bead lines as well, allow your first two fingers to press on the hairs to compress them abit and it allows you more control in lathering tight areas.

I hope this was not a repeat and that it helps.

+1 on putting heavy stuff on the bottom. Cant beat this style of box for orginization. I put each maker in a drawer. Or each 7 day set.
230ish is insane amounts. yeah thats sardines,when do you get to shave with each one?? Once a year?? Kudos to you I have seen some of the razors you have shared and fixed. great work.

I think I'm going to go to harbor freight and get me one of those. It's just what I need..

Hello, and welcome aboard!!
