DE Storage

Hello Gents,

I'm on the prowl for some ideas on a storage rack of some kind for my DE's. I can never aqquire them with the original cases, so instead of piling them up in a drawer, I'd like to somehow display them. Any ideas? Pictures of any creations you guys might have would be great!

Thanks. :hmmm:

Apparently, test tube racks work fairly well. personally I just drilled a series of holes in a board and added a couple more boards as "legs", and called it a day. it was supposed to be a "prototype" for a nicely measured, sanded, stained one, but I've had it over a year now, just like most "temporary measures" tend to be.

I don't know where you would find them, but how about those cases people use to show off spoons that they have collected.

Thanks guys, some good ideas. I came across a similar thread in the Safety Razor section that I didn't notice before I made this thread, some good ideas in there too.

Here's a wooden tool chest that SWMBO picked up for my gear.

Has a bunch of drawers all felt lined and the top four small drawers are divided up by wood...same size as a straight razor :)

Thanks! It really help me contain most of my gear lol. The Mrs got a little fed up finding straights and such scattered about the house lol

It's got 8 drawers all felt lined. I think it was maybe $70 at Harbor Freight.

I like it, although I would probably try to shorten it, as it's height is designed to accomodate a toothbrush. Do the razors look alright in it?

Very nice!
I have an old "machinist's tool box" like that belonged to my Grandfather.
I'll have to see if I can find it!

The picture with the empty rack is deceiving! Looks like this would work well, not too high at all. The head spacing seems just right too.
