Thread: Storing shaving equipment, kids in the house

I agree, the reason why I started the thread in the first place.
All kitchen knives in a box, high in the cabinet. And they also know not to touch them.

I thought I would have to leave the blade in the DE all the time.
Now that I know this, I agree, always remove the blade.

I bought one of these metal blade boxes for $1.00 throw away when full kind - got the used blades covered.
Need to determine if I throw away each blade after I shave? Or do I re-use?
Now I just need something small to keep the new blades.

Something with a combo lock would be ideal. Something half the size of a shoe box...

My now 10year old got ahold of my old cartridge razor, wanted to shave. He had a bloody lip.
Again, my reason for the thread.

I put a latch on the door so I could keep the door pryed open without locking the door. I have told them if they try opening it... It's thier toys. They have never tried.

For me, the cost of the blade isn't worth it for reuse. I also have no place to store a blade for reuse. If you do want to reuse, my friend uses a magnetic tape on the side of his medicine cabinet. He also has 2 toddlers and no issues so far. My son has cut himself on my razor only once and that was a Mach 3 razor. He ran his thumb along the blades. Luckily it only cut skin and wasn't deep enough to draw blood.

I think the real danger would come from a loaded razor than boxed up blades. If you are really that worried, you can get a cash box from amazon.

I use straights and shavettes, I have a tall boy dresser in my bed room and after each shave I put them on that. The brush might get some toddler goo if not hidden.

For my other razors that aren't in rotation I have put a magnetic lock on the drawer. They are about $10 for 2 and the magnet is kept on the shower rod. I have a small organization insert (think cutlery drawer organizer) and I keep the other dangerous sharp things in the back of that. Just in case the wee hands get in the front.

We have a potty in the shave washroom and the 3 years needs some freedom to use it. I also gave her own shaving equipment, the old boar brush no longer use.
