Thread: looking for ideas for storage

Hi. I am wondering what to do to store my small (less than a dozen) collection of straights. Would appreciate any ideas.

A few of us have used display cases and mounted some hooks inside.Works well and keeps humidity from the shower away from your blades.I still oil lightly anyway.Here's mine:

Another possibility is to get a razor roll. There are plenty of places that make them in everything from Denim to Leather, holding from 4 to 20+ razors. Just make sure you oil (I use baby oil) your blades before storing them for a long time.

I use silverware trays for some of them. Fits in a drawer and keeps them separate. Good for a small assortment. Here is an example.

Thierre-Issard has lovely display boxes in the offer

Pen cases or pen rolls can work, as can travel humidors. Other possibilityes are toothbrush stands, pipe stands (the kind of pipes you smoke) or test tube racks. I have a lock box that I lay my largest blades in and razors rolls for (most of) my smaller blades.

While nice display cases and fancy razor rolls can work, I personally wouldn't shell out the money for something like a TI roll or case. Yes, they are nice, but I'd rather spend my money on the actual razors than something to hold them.

Ideas for storage may be very different.
