Thread: How do you store/display your razors?

For information:
The rare earth magnets from the auction houses are great! A razor will hang from the tang easily and with enough strength that you can swing it in small circles from the magnet.
Get some at least 4mm in diameter and 4mm or more in length. Should be able to get 50 or more for less than $10 shipped.
They can hang razors from metal shelf supports, many mirror lamp housings, and can be glued into holes in a board to space them correctly.
A way to think outside, or in, the box!

Yep!

1/4" x 1" with 7lbs. pull



I'm in the process of turning my Manly Can into a Shave Den. The new shelves went up here. Guns & knives are gone.

A minor concern...
If you have a cat, they dearly love to play with objects, especially things with fur or that swing!
My buddy found that out.

Got two kitties and no kiddies. Thanks for the advice.

This is where I store a few of my 20+ razors. My wife tells me it looks like something a store uses to display plates maybe. I really don't know. I bought it for $1.50 at a non-profit Goodwill type of place.

I really messed up on that one. First it shows my pictures rotated left, then when I try to fix it........too many pics. Sorry folks! Says I can manage my attachments......but I don't know which ones to delete. Sigh. Challenged.

I posted similar pictures somewhere else in the forums a bit ago. These are updated some. All my straights are stored outside the bathroom. Most all are in pen storage boxes. This is an example of one of my Sheffield boxes. I removed the 2 small desiccant bags from each drawer just for the pictures. I have never had any rust issues when using these boxes. They are available from Amazon. The cabinet contains my father's Gillette Aristocrat which he bought when he returned from WW2. I learned to shave with it. Also my great-grandfather's shaving mug with his initials circa 1913. A gift from my grandfather who was a barber in Caribou, Maine.

Since I've managed to whittle the down to a more manageable number, I bought myself a nice display cabinet and they now reside in my home office.
