Thread: How do you store your rotation razors?

All are kept in a large safe w/ several large silicone pouches to keep the moisture down. Most also have a rub down with rust a preventative. All are shave ready and each week I pul lout a different razor roll and work through it if I don't have any new honed straights getting in the way.

If I still had small children I would keep my razors in a safe, too! I like the lab tube holder idea, but yours must have larger openings than the standard medical lab draw wire basket type tube stands that I am familiar with. What volume/diameter tubes were they designed for?

I'm not sure. The test tube stand was given to me. It's a red plastic. I'll post a pic as soon as I can but I don't think it will be before the weekend. Lot's to do and no time to do it, but it needs to be done before Saturday noon.

Just recently mounted this display case.

Nice cabinet work and an absolutely beautiful display of high end razors. Makes me want to reach out an grab them!

Can't take credit for the cabinet work.It's a pre-made pin display case from a hobby store.I did have to take the back off,and install some plywood to screw the hooks into.The case came with a pressed cardboard backing and I didn't trust it to hold.

I got this idea from Scott at Rasage Poulin.



I don't use the scuttle otherwise.

I keep them in plastic pencil boxes (each holds 16 to 20 razors); in their own cases if they have one. The current 3 or 4 favorites are on a shelf ready-to-grab. All are lightly oiled at all times.

Scuttle? What? It isn't a pen holder?

I have a vintage smoking pipe rack the straights fit into nicely. Got it on ebay for $10, and it has 12 places. My Herbert Wacker and TI are too hefty for the holes and I'll have to widen the holes a bit for them when I get around to it, but that will be easy. A little Renaissance wax makes the whole thing like it was made for nice razors.

Here is a really cool vintage option available on the Bay, if anyone is interested. A bit out of my price range, but may fit someone's needs perfectly. It is a Buy it Now, so I don't think this will mess with anyone that is watching this:
