I forgot to include the following:

I regenerated my Dri-Box in our 1200 watt microwave oven, using brief "nuking" times to avoid damaging anything. I was astounded by the amount of moisture that the Dri-Box gave off...when I opened the oven door after the first heating cycle, a cloud of steamy air billowed out, and there was liquid water on the turntable platter! I repeated the heating cycle until the silica wasn't getting any bluer (2 or 3 cycles), and returned the Dri-Box to the jar.

Although the Dri-Box isn't the most inexpensive indicating silica gel option that's available, I'm extremely happy with it so far. It's neat, clean, compact, and very easy to regenerate. And it clearly works (no surprise there...after all, it's just indicating silica in a convenient container). It's no doubt overkill for a container as small as the one I'm using, but I haven't found a smaller unit that's as convenient.

Even if you don't want to use one the way I do, I'm confident that a Dri-Box would be ideal for use in a larger container or cabinet that's used for storing razors. I'm planning on getting either an Otterbox or Pelican Box to store my other razors, and I'll definitely be putting a Dri-Box in there with them!

My only concern is that I'll need to be careful about using a hermetically sealed container...a case of cell rot in there could be disastrous!!
