Thread: Razor and hone storage ideas

As my collection grows, I keep putting off the need to come up with a better way to store my shaving stuff. Any idea? Most just storing razors and a few basic hones. Everything else is kept in the bathroom cabinet. Thanks.

Depends upon how fancy you wish to be.
Dollar Store plastic shoe boxes are great.
Buy the drawer liner like a rubber net to place between hones. Rinse the hones off before putting them away and again before use to reduce grit migration. The hones are better stored dry if possible.
Tooth paste tubes are cheap and ventilated for straight storage. good to have space between them and airflow around them.
They also fit nicely into the shoe boxes.
Soaps and creams are naturals for the shoe boxes.
Lots of other ways also!

My storage is neither beautiful nor does it display well. I have all my blades wrapped in anti corrosion paper in plastic boxes in a safe. In time I am hoping to make a few displays, but for now it does the trick. As for hones, they are all in a two drawer lateral file cabinet.

I keep my razors in the safe. I oil and wrap them in kitchen wax paper and there in two tubawear containers. one for Solingen and the other for sheffields. Compared to some my collection is fairly small just about 40 or so but I would want them to disappear. to some this might seem extreme but when you take in consideration that my neighbor was broken in on while they slept one morning it's really not. my hones are in a wall hung cabinet in my bedroom. I'm thinking of getting another gunsafe for the stones and to spread the firearms out. Oh my nearest neighbor is a mile away. These days a dope head will still anything.

I have a towel holder thing (not sure what it is called) in my bathroom that has shelves in it. I have razors on one shelf, soaps and brushes on another, aftershaves, finishing hone, and crox bench strop on the other. I don't take long, steamy showers, so there hasn't been any moisture issues.

For the rest of my hones, well I have a lot of hones... The ones I use most often are stored in large Tupperware container with the rubber drawer liners that Geezer mentions. I also drilled holes in the sides and bottom of the container for better airflow. The water stones that I use most often are stored in water in a shoe box sized plastic container. The ones that are used infrequently are stored in a wardrobe sized cabinet in my shop.

After I've cleaned, dried and LIGHTLY oiled them.....mY STs are stored in a foam-lined water-tight ammo box with desiccant packs....

Close shaves should SOOTHE ya..NOT SCARE ya!!

I use cigar boxes with individual sections for each individual cigar. That way, I can keep one razor in each, and they wont bang against each other as I move the box.

On a couple of them, I have added a satin liner for that extra touch of class.
