Thanked: 9Storage 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.
"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

Thanked: 17Looks 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.

Thanked: 12I 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 love the smell of shaving cream in the morning!

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.
