Thread: Straight razor storage

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.

I have a large spanish oak cigar humidor i use for the larger part of my collection...the nlades i rarely dare to use...

The box is covered in burl and laquered on the outside...shuts closed prety nice...almost air tight...and holds around 40 razors or so with boxes...the spanish oak is great an keeping the insde dry and i aded a 1 pound bag of silica gell in there for safety reasons...
I doo check on them once every 2 months and alpy balistol on the blades.

Although most have bakelite scales or modern plastics....a few have celuluid scales and the thaught of cell rott in an air tight box gives me nightmares sometimes.


So Spanish oak humidor...silica gel and balistol once every 2-3 months has kept my blades safe for @6 years.

Aloha!

I had thought about converting one of my cigar humidors (probably my walnut case) to razor storage, but I don;t like to seal them in an airtight case. Still, it's an idea that is not without merit.

I keep mine in tooth brush holders:

I like the idea of keeping them snug and warm

These cigar boxes seem like a good idea. Where do you get them from? I don't smoke so don't really want to buy a full box.
