Thread: How do you store your razor

I use a leather 7 razor case that zips up. There are lots of options on the internet that can be ordered. I save the tin cases that the Dovo's come in for protection in case I have to send them away.

Are the tin dovo cases worth anything. Actually are any of the dovo cases worth anything all the ones i see seem like knock offs

For me, some go in the box the razor came with others in leather pouches but my favorites du jour are displayed on my bookshelf in the man cave for admiration and ready access. And some are just lying around on my work bench waiting for me to take interest in them.

Pencil case.. available in different sizes. A 48 pencil size will hold 12 straight razors

I actually keep a couple in the bathroom. My every other day Wade & Butcher, my favorite. And the rest are stored in a wooden toolbox on top of the gun safe.
I should note that the bathroom is not walled off, our room is a master suite. And no matter how hot the shower no steam builds up

Most of mine are sitting partly open on a shelf in my bed room. I might have to make/find a proper storage box for them someday, but this is suitable for now.

I use a display case.

I almost hate to tell you guys what I do. I store mine in a tall shaving mug in my bathroom. I have eight--seven for shaving that I rotate every day and a 4/8 for close trimming. Been doing this for seven or eight years now and no problems. I simply wipe them down with a towel after each use. Our climate here in Montana is pretty dry though, so maybe that's what has made the difference. I run my vent fan while I shower and that seems to keep the moisture out of the bathroom too.

Even though I live in an area with a dry climate, I prefer to store my razors along with my strop in a room away from the bathroom. In a drawer I have a small tin with a layer of bubble wrap covered with silica gel packs on the bottom, on which I place my razors (I only have three) and close the hinged lid.

After shaving I rinse the razor, wipe it on a dry towel and close the razor (I never, ever put the razor down without closing it first). I then carry it to the room, strop the razor a handful of passes to ensure the edge is dry and put it in it's tin.

I hang mine in the bathroom after I wipe it and strop it... we don't have a bathroom door... our bathroom is kinda large and opens directly into the master, so it's not 'humid'.... (toilet is in a small separate ante-room)
