Thread: Storage for Straight Razors ?

Saw these on Etsy. Looked interesting. I think I'm going to buy one to give it a test.

I just keep mine in an old pewter beer stein after drying and strop. It takes little room and works fine.

seems to me that those would hold moisture...the enemy of a sharp blade!

They should work fine many different places sell similar. I keep most of my stored razors in two different leather rolls.

I dry mine open for a day after using and keep them vertical on wrench organizers,with a dessicant present. I use rolls for transport, but would hesitate to store in them. The razors need air exchange and clean, dry environment.

Looks like they would be great for the razors not in the rotation (of which I seem to be getting more and more) but I wouldn't use it for day to day storage.

Very interesting. Right now I just store mine in the vintage coffin cases.

I use one then immediately clean, dry, oil, and place in seven razor leather roll ups. Never a problem. You should be fine unless you don't oil them. In that case further drying and humidity issues would be more concerning.

I put them in a box.






Others go in a cheap cardboard box.


Why are these pictures upside down?

I use these marker cases. My friend Michael (mist) left one in my mailbox, after seeing how they work I have since bought 2 more. Rather than buying a fourth case im going to sell off a couple razors.
They are called prestige marker cases by alvin, 24, 48, and 60 cases available. They keep everything snug from my moustache razor to a 9/8 anchor, and at $12-15 each for the 24 you cant go wrong.
