Thread: Store tang up or down

Tang up in a mug.

Count me among the tang up crowd.

I keep mine flat also in a variety of wood boxes.

Actually, I think I'd like to make a rack for them inside a nice humidor (minus the humid). Need more razors though

Edit; I wrote tang down and I meant tang up. Corrected the typo.

That, sir, is awesome. If I only had the room.

Tang up in an antique German beer stein. Stein lid open of course.

Allow me to display my "Tang-Up" gang. This is my meager collection.

I do have one more razor but Sham hasn't mailed it yet!!!

Turn this thread into a photo-op and see how many pages we can wring out of it......

As long as the razors are dry, and one does NOT put away a wet razor, it does not matter if the tang is up or down. I store my razors lying down.

Well since we're doing pictures now, my favourite razor gets its own bed. I like to call him Gerald.

My meager accummulation of five SR sleep in a drawer in the bathroom cabinet...since my shave den is the hallway bathroom which is also used when I have friends and family visiting, I do not store the SR at plain sight to avoid kits getting their little fingers in them. Anyway, the important thing is to dry those blades before storage.
