Thread: Razor Box

It is nice, I'm sure you can always make another if you need more room, which you will.
Espcially hanging out around here...Good work....I'm sure if you were so inclined, you could easily, sell them....

To answer an earlier question, the age of a razor would not be a safeguard against celluloid rot. The damage produced by decomposing celluloid is caused by nitrocellulose breaking down into nitric acid, among other things. As the protective layer is worn out, the nitrocellulose can be slowly oxidized. However, this would be a relatively slow process, so as long as you check in on your razors every couples months there isn't much danger. The only time I would suggest removing them would be if you intended to store them for years.

If you must know my credentials, I'm a chemistry/life sciences student at university. By the way, the box looks great!

If anything, you could put a silica pack inside and make sure it keeps a dry environment inside.

perhaps even a dehumidifier made for a gun safe?

The silica packets you can get from camera stores would be the right size and do the job for keeping them dry.
