Thread: Where do you keep your razors and strops?

Those display cases are a bit of overkill for me yet, but they sure look spectacular!

I keep the razors I'm using in the bathroom I use them in. The remaining razors are oiled and stored in a storage box or two in the storage room. Strops, well I seem to have run out of strops apart from the one I use daily. I keep giving away strops when I give away razors, can't have one without the other. So anyway, that strop is also kept in the bathroom where I shave.

Now if you asked where I keep my stones.... *that* would be an interesting discussion!

James.

I keep my rotation in my headboard cubby. I just roll out of the rack, sit on the side and grab a razor, swing the Lipshaw strop out and go at it before heading to the...er...head! (usually!)

Hey Tom I think that's the prototype George Jetson started with

You never disappoint!

Yeah, except George's had robotic hands come out and strop the razor whist another pair began stirring the lather in a mug.
One comes out and slaps a hot towel on his face, after which lather is smacked on and stirred around. THEN, the first pair of hands gives him a proper shave right there on the side of the bed. Towel hands come out, MMMmmmmffff, AS hands come out, splat/rub.

I don't have those options!

My friend Darl (Tarkus) made the prototype. I insisted upon one, so he made me one.
Mounted to a wall stud, I can rattle the window 6 feet away while stropping a heavy wedge! Solid!

Eventually George replaced that with Rosie the robot

Yeah, Rosie! What a Gal! One with wheels could really keep up!

That is amazing, wish my wife would allow me to have my honing set up there! You are the man Tom. Tc

HA! TBH, She does not care! Not about honing, but retrieving and stropping a razor prior to use. No honing there, or anything else.
Nice as-used, with exception of some hanging strops utilized in the half-bath. Strops, used well, are the most important component in straight-shaving. Strops are where it's at, IMO!
