Thread: How do you store and display your prized possessions ?

The thing is that I have so far put 873 razors into it and there still seems to be plenty of room for more.
I don't understand.
Maybe someone here can explain it.
Cheers,
Geoff

The explanation can only be that it is a Dr. Who phone booth.

Thank you.will keep an eye open for them.
They look really nice for display

I have an old teak (I think) cutlery box which I re-lined with thick green felt and gave the box a bit of TLC. Razors have just been lying loose in it.

After an altogether pleasant evening with the inlaws, roast lamb, red wine and expensive cognac (I was never going to spend that much on a bottle), my father in law is going to make 2 oak trays for me. He will router the spaces for the razors and thinks 8 per tray. This leaves space for other bits to go in the box too.

Pictures to follow. I'm so happy he knows how to use power tools

I have to be honest, as much as I'd like to do it myself I don't have the skills/ability. I could probably muster a roughly gouged piece of wood lol

This is how i store my razors... This side has my 7 day rotation and the case has another section... That is where i keep the projects! The safety razors are in rotation but not for face! Manscaping tools!

Wonderful ideas, just one reason why I love these forums!

I picked up an antique display case and restored it. Now just looking to pop some nice legs on (hopefully queen-anne style). It has 2 'levels', each being felted.

That is sooo sweet!!!

Deep photo display frames with non woven batting are great for those on vacations from the rotation.
