New guy here. I am still learning the ins and outs of shaving with a straight and safety razor.
I have seen different pictures of safety razors hanging on their stands. Some of them upright and some of them upside-down. Is there a right and wrong way? Is it just personal preference?
hang?
my DE's go in my bathroom droor..my straights stay in a cabinet in my bedroom
Mine just lie on their side.
I use some test tube holders - they're perfect for the task and it means that I can neatly store 36 of them under the sink.
My straights live in a drawer in my bedroom.
Mine just lies on it's side in the bathroom cabinet as well. Got enough stuff on the counter already :)

Worked on this today, made from extra samples of various items from work.
Which one is better for the razor, or does it matter?
Gentlemen,
My double edge razors hang upright in a series of metal four-hole toothbrush holders. The seven-day Joris set, however, hangs upright in a multi-hole wooden rack specially designed for me.
Greetings,
I just picked up a couple DEs last week and I'm glad someone started this thread. I've got a storage spot in mind, and I like some of the hanger ideas that have been posted. One thing that I haven't seen addressed is, what about the blade its self? Every thing I've read on care and storage stresses not storing razors with blades in them. OK, fine, but where do you keep the blade? Living alone, I don't have to worry about someone being bothered with a blade laying in my medicine cabinet. But I'm guessing one of you'all have some slick idea as to where to keep them.
Have a great Sunday!! Don
Same here. Mine is brushed stainless steel, very sturdy.Quote:

I have but one DE razor and it lives in this: http://img.tapatalk.com/473f320c-e8ca-52f8.jpg
A friend who is an amazing stained glass artist made it for me and started life as a cigar holder but it gets more use as a razor holder.
For those looking for a minimalist inexpensive and convenient solution I suggest going on eBay and search for razor stands there.
I just purchased one for 8 dollars, and it looks amazing. (it's for a straight though, but they have similar versions for DE's.)
I'm surprised no one has responded to the original question "How do you hang your safety razor?" thusly:
WITH A ROPE!
if TTO I take the blade out and keep the silo doors open and hang on brush/razor stand with the head pointing up. if 3 piece ill remove blade and take apart and lay to dry on a towel.
DITTO..........a toothbrush standQuote:

I just lay mine on its side. Nothing to hang it from.
You know, it dawned on me it really is a shame that we put these things on stands and displays, because we can no longer buy these delicate little machines that were so high quality, and so common and are now no longer made. It really is a shame.
