Travel tips for my straight razors
I just sent 3 of my 4 razors in to Lynn for honeing. I was shocked when he sent me an email back letting me know that the razors had "lots of small dings and chips" and would require more work than a simple hone.
I feel that I am going out of my way to take care of my razors, but I don't just leave mine in the bathroom like most people. I travel for work at least 2 weeks per month. I tossed my old Mach3 razor 3 months ago when I started with the straight razor, so that's not an option.
I have to assume that the damage to my razors occurs while traveling. Normally I chose one of my razors for a business trip, I close it and tightly wrap one of my wife's hair ties (those soft feeling rubber band deals) and then I put the razor in the plastic case my Dovo came in. How could it get dings and chips while closed with a rubber band and in a case? I have done a few trips where I didn't put the rubber band on it, but it was still in that plastic case.
So if any of you have other ideas for travelling with my razors, I would love to hear them. Because apparently I am damaging my razors the way I am handling and storing them. What do you do with your razors while you're at home? How do you store them?
Thanks!
