Thread: Where is the best place in the house to keep a straight razor?

I don't oil my razors, I really don't see the point and need for this if you have dried the steel and keep it out of humid warm places, if not then oil to preserve it. I store mine in an antique red glass jar on my dresser in my bedroom, it actually stores like 10+ razors, the rest all sit in their respect coffins.

No problems so far.

cheers

Properly dried and on top of my dresser (it is a gentleman's dresser, so it is high). As stated by others, my wife knows nothing about conserving hot water, so the bathroom is not appropriate.

I used to keep mine under my pillow at night. All the movement would sharpen them while I slept but I got tired of having to replace pillows all the time.

You might try asking GibII if he has any of those nice 7-day razor boxes he was making left. I have no idea if he's made anymore but he makes a really nice box. Even though I only have one razor I still bought one.

I keep mine in a converted bracelet box from wal.... they sit right next to my easychair.

In a case, in a bathroom drawer

I keep mine in a padded travel box I made up that also carries my shaving cream and brush and strop

Mine are dried meticulously, then bound in chain and wrapped in a towel like a burrito. Then I tape the towel closed and secure it in bubble wrap, probably around 30 or so layers. After this, I put it in a thick, wooden box with a padlock keeping it closed. The wooden box is then glued to the top of a high dresser and buried in the backyard upside-down, 7 feet deep. Upon covering the hole, I place no less than 9 wolves around the hole to ensure no intruders. Those 9 wolves have laser-beams attached to their heads and are protected by 4 guard-dogs each. My backyard is also in a castle, surrounded by a moat, with a single draw-bridge guarded by a troll named Hank. This troll must ask you 3 questions in order for you to pass. Generally, the third question is about the location of the Ark of the Covenant or the existence of extra-terrestrial life on Neptune's second-largest moon.

Thank God I only shave every other day...

Mine are strung over the whole house, the bathroom, the bedroom, the office as well as the shop.
