Thread: looking for ideas for storage

I made a "Dehumidor" out of a cigar humidor that I picked up off of eBay. I posted a simple thread in the workshop awhile back explaining what I did. It works for me.

I like that icedog. I may copy your design. Thanks for the idea.

i keep my razors in a glass disinfectant tube, filled with barbicide thats made to prevent rust. like at the barbershop, or hair salon

I'm a newbie so this might be a little obvious...but while razor hunting in antique stores I c came across a barbers case for holding straight razors. it came with a bunch of razors for 145 bucks. Unfortunately I don't have the money to pick it up at the moment...maybe sometime soon. Anyway it was a small portable case that was designed to carry about 20 razors. It looked like a box you'd see at a barber shop or something. I would recommend hitting up your local antique malls. I've seen barbers brushes, strops, razors...all sorts of paraphanalia. Good luck

I've got one of those for 15 razors. There are two things I don't like about it. First, mine has vertical slots that don't hold the razor firmly, so they move around a bit when you move the case. Sticking some foam into the lid of the case fixed that. Second, they don't fit large razors and the slots are different sizes, so sometimes I have to play musical chairs to get everything in. These points may be unique to my box, but something to keep in mind. Test fitting razors is always a good idea.
