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

SWMBO got fed up with my razors been all over the house and I wanted to put them on display. This cabinet holds 54 straights however I still have loads all over the house and garage so I will have to build another 1 or 2 shortly to accommodate the rest.

These razors have all been restored and are in my rotation. However now I have put them in this cabinet I will be a using them in order and not add hock like I used to. The cabinet has a glass door to it this is still waiting for the paint to dry then it will go on. This will have to wait as I am off to the Lake District for a camping weekend with the boys on the motorbikes. The cabinet below has my safety razors in it as well as some Leatherman’s that I used to collect before the straight razors got to me. Anyway hope you enjoy this at some point I will show you my hones and the rest of my collection.

DAMM thats nice Exile!

Have a few of these hanging around.

WOW! LOVE the box idea. reminds me of a completely unrelated idea i saw in college - a spanish exchange student who was a marketing major put color logos of each company next to their entry on his resume. added some color and creativity just like your display case. really good idea pixelfixed

I have my razors that are in rotation in this cutlery chest. My "non using" and "to be restored" razors are in other boxes, and cigar boxes around the place.

Such as it is, here is my occamage.
I have more on the way when I'm done restoring them.
I used an old CD rack that I found lying around and attached it to a plastic base with a groove in it to stop them slipping out.
When I showed SWMBO she said 'There are lots of spare spaces in there and that doesn't mean you have to fill them up'
My reply - 'yes dear'
I just hope she doesn't open that side of the cupboard anytime soon....hehehe
This is the first prototype and, I'm sure it will evolve.
Cheers,
Geoff

Pixel, this is an awesome display! Is this custom made, or perhaps, a modified display case for something else?
