Thread: Straight Storage

I looked at those, too. The problem that the only ones I could find were made to house a 3 by 5 index card, so you would have to store them at 90 degress to the front, or lengthwise in the drawer.

Impressive, and so is your collection!

Nice! I feel sooooo much better about myself now!

Great idea!

That's a lot of razors to take care of....I don't envy you....

Actually, they don't require much maintenance at all. I use one each day, so I don't go through all of them in a year. I find that desiccant in the drawer and baby oil is enough to keep them rust free.

I have a lot of razors and use a different one each day also. I accidentally noticed some bad rust from some scale rot the other day. I went through all of the and found maybe 40 affected razors. Most were salvagable. I have stored the rest in plastic storage bins submerged in baby oil. I had to buy a hell of a lot of baby oil, but I hope I am safe now. I have a lot of ivory scaled razors that I did not store in oil. I am sure they are safe all together just being well oiled.

I too have had a problem with certain razors with early plastic (as opposed to rubber or Bakelite) scales that must be gassing off as they age and deteriorate. The blades rust terribly no matter how well I clean and try to protect them. And just where they are covered by the scales I finally just rescaled them.

They will also affect razors close by.That's why I submerged mine in baby oil. I hope ther is nothing wrong with that.
