Thread: Almost finished my straight razor storage box

I have not had an issues with rust. My case sits in a bathroom drawer. I thoroughly dry them after use with toilet paper and coat them lightly with mineral oil. Before I made the box, they just sat in the drawer on a cloth. Worked for many years and I've lived in CT, West Germany, KY, MD, NY, and NH and travel quite a bit to FL. No issues but I do keep an eye on it - time will tell.

I think it would look much better as a 5 razor set for this size of box

or just add 1/4 more space to the outside two razor slots

I have read somewhere that Camellia oil is not good for long term storage. Thirty days or more. Can't remember where though. I don't use it. I use Tuf-Glide mostly.

And tuf-glide is good for months and years of storage?

I recall that camellia oil is something that will go rancid, I don't know but if plant based could be true, long term, I use whatever is in front f me, RemOil, tuff glide, but maybe the best is Renwax, the real key is to be perfectly dry before applying anything, moisture trapped under lubricants will cause a lot of corrosion.
