    Default Dry razor storage

    This was inspired by a similar, Ball jar gizmo I saw here on SRP.

    I spotted this nice, shatterproof, bail-top jar and metal toothbrush holder at the local Wal-Mart; $8.47 & $8.68, respectively. The blue thing at the bottom is called a DriBox, and is a rechargeable desiccant that is overkill in this application (it's capable of drying MUCH larger containers, but I couldn't find anything else that is so convenient). The DriBox is $7.95 from the manufacturer, but they'll charge that much again for P&H.

    Looks like the rig should work well in my humid bathroom as is, but a few tweaks may be in order. What do you think?

    When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It's difficult only for the others.
    It's the same when you are stupid.

    Dry rice will serve as a desiccant. Instead if recharging it you just replace it and throw the old stuff into soup!

    It's got three large openings, and each should easily accommodate 2-3 razors if they're put in pivot end first.

    I remember you telling me about this when you were over - neat idea and I love the execution. Has anyone converted an old babercide container for this purpose?

    I actually found an old Barbicide jar, but I don't think that any of them have a seal...this jar has a nice silicon deal, and is air tight. I considered trying to make a gasket for the Barbicide jar, but decided this was a better way to go because of the gasket, and because it's shatter proof, too.

    I had thought about how to do that with an old king jar. But like Dzanda said I never found a seal that fit my jar well. I saw the old mason jar an toothbrush holder in that other link also an it is a great idea. Secure, sealed, an convenient. Nice job Dzanda. You got all this at wally world?
