How do you store your razor

I am looking for the best way to store my razors. I use them every day so they need to be easily available. I dont like storing them in the cardboard box because they are stored in the vanity in the bathroom. Any ideas was thinking a mini cigar box.

I personally don't like the idea of storing in the bathroom. And a lot of folks around here agree. A few do and say no problem. I made a nice display that hangs on the wall for my razors. After shaving I clean up my razor, take it down stairs, strop it and put it back on the display. And if I'm not going to use it for a week or more I'll put a very light coating of oil on the blade.

Lots of stuff on this and recently. So do a quick search and you will find pages of it.

I have a stand on my dresser in my bedroom that allows me to keep the razor open in case it isn't fully dry. With the bathroom in my bedroom, it's convenient without exposing the razor to the humidity of a steamy bathroom.

I'm always torn between oiling it, and putting it in a non-humid environment, or just drying it off and storing it with some desiccant packs.

I'm curious about this as well, what are the thoughts about if the razor is stored in a drawer? Would that prevent the majority of the humidity from reaching the razor?

I picked up a couple of these today to help keep the razors from getting too much moister and safety reasons. The blades can't open while inside just in case someone bumps them. Also has small holes for moisture control. Finish shaving, dry the razor off and let it sit over night. Then put them in the case once completely dry.

Silicone treated razor socks are the way to go - believe SRP sells them under the name, "Sack-Ups", think I've got about 100 of them - great way to store your blades, as I really prefer not to oil the blades.

Good to know. Can the oil cause any long term effects to celluloid scales? I've always been careful not to get the oil on the scales for fear it might cause discoloration or eventual cell rot but it happens.

Awesome idea never thought of that.

I dry my razor with a towel and remove it from the bathroom where I shave to my small upright dresser where it remains open till the next morning. Then it returns to my cloth roll up where I have desiccant packs in the bottom.

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.:rofl2:

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)
