Thread: Where do you store your straight razor?

Buy 32 Pen Display Case With Lid at Woodcraft.com

I ordered one of these and it came a couple days ago. I like it, and it does the job, but I'd note a couple points.

First, if you have a lot of wide razors, 6/8's for example, you'll not be able to use all 32 slots in the case. The spaces are okay for 5/8 and smaller, though.

Second, the razors are held in place by an elastic thread. It's fine, but I nearly cut one when razor with a loose pivot swung open as I inserted the razor. Be careful of the elastic threads.

Otherwise this is a nice solution! I have a lot of razors, having bought a lot of eBay and antique store razors on the cheap while learning to hone. I got lots of help and most of those razors shave nicely, so now I have about 50-60 razors that seem shave-ready and give good shaves...so I have 'archived' about 30 while I shave through the others.

I guess I ought to sell or give away some of these!
