I keep my in the spare bathroom which I have repo as my Shave Den. Since no one takes a shower there; I do not oil the blades, they are stored in shadow boxes one I build myself and had no problems with rust thus far all these many years. HOG

Beautiful, right down to the shower curtain. I like it!

Nothing fancy here. I keep mine in the medicine cabinet. Straights in the shaving mug, top right. I coat the straight razors' blades with a very light coat of mineral oil. I've not seen any type pf rust in 18 months.

Thank you kindly. HOG

I put all my straight razors and related equipment (minus hanging strops which are in the bathroom) in an antique machinist chest.

Wow, the chest is beautiful! Sure beats under my sink.

I couldn't believe it was only $75.00 from Windsor Designs, with free shipping and it arrived in 10 days....is perfect, highly recommend one. There's two more slotted drawers on the top and a long drawer on the bottom:

I get them from Men's Essentials, and SRP has them, called "sack ups" but with the dollar crashing and burning, they're cheaper again from Men's Essentials.

The razors in a plastic pencil box with a patch soaked in Ballistol. The pencil box and strops in the gun safe for humidity control. Quite humid where I live.

Razors in the medicine cabinet, strops hanging on the wall. if they hang, they'll generally stay straight and avoid falling dust.

63% humidity or so is about where rust starts to occur. My basement bathroom is less than that, but other parts of the house aren't, especially the garage (which is heated) where my tools are kept.
