    I am a crusty ol' bachelor hermit type, so I don't need anything fancy or anything to put my collection on display...

    I use individual razor sack-up sleeves, sack-up roll up sheaths (both available at Straight Razor Designs) or straight razor boxes / coffins.

    I just took a quick look at E-bay and found 1,713 boxes currently for sale. I suggest that you include the word "Lot" in your search parameters for offers of more than one at a time.

    I just keep mine in my bedside table drawer in individual sheaths or boxes. I too would like a better solution to this and have toyed with all sorts of ideas like drawer inserts that you might use for storing fountain pens and the like. Yet I am still in the same situation as I was this time last year.

    I wouldn't keep mine in the bathroom though because of the moisture in there.

    I keep mine in the bathroom without any apparent problems.

    A sack-up keeps them well protected (especially a roll up) and I make sure that they have a coat of razor oil on them if I am not going to use them for a while.

    Then again... I've only been at this for about a year, so what do I know?

    I don't think that makes your experience any less valid. I haven't been at it that long either.

    Very nice. So does each shelf hold 75?

    Each shelf holds 27, for a total of 81. There's one missing from the front of the bottom drawer.
    I'm looking for another to fill, and will probably need to get two more, to cover my stock.

    Quite a few that still need some TLC, before they get put in rotation. Getting closer every day, to 365. [emoji57]

    I have my current 7-8 razors in a wooden holder that I actually bought at a Hamfest decades ago. It was designed to hold a handheld amateur radio (like a walkie talkie) upright for table top use, but it works great for storing my straights. Not all, just my current rotation of razors.
