    Default Razor Storage

    I'm curious what is used for keeping razors in between use. The options I am aware of is: 1. Box razor came in 2. leather sheath 3. sack ups razor sleeve or similar 4. I saw one that was similar to the sack ups but had silver flecks in the fabric. Other ideas?

    What are the opinions? I like the idea of leather but have read that it can promote rust/tarnish of the razor.

    Many thanks!

    I use a large jewelry box with the appropriate inserts in the drawers. There are also many smaller boxes available that have two or three drawers. I've also seen people use nice cases that are made for fountain pens. Here's a picture of what I have.

    I have the same jewelry box for storage and picked up this pipe rack today for display.

    I keep mine in a circa 1800s dresser. Also in the dresser drawers are sections of panty hose filled with rice. I live in humid SC, and this does the trick.

    I love vintage watches, and they get the same treatment. Been collecting them for 20 years, and not one humidity related issue yet.

    Racks on the wall in my radio room are where mine are stored. Need some news pics of them.

    Did you have to modify them any? I know I couldn't get a standard razor in most toothbrush holders I've had, much less a big chopper.

    Did not have to modify any and even my Fili 14 EPBD fits, some are a tight fit as it not just dropping in without turning a certain way but so far so good.

    What type of jewelry box is that? And where did you get those inserts? They fit the razors perfectly.


    I love the repurposing ideas mentioned so far:
    Jewelry Box
    Tobacco Pipe Rack
    Test Tube Rack
    Toothbrush travel case
    I remember someone used a wooden Machinist tool chest in another thread.
