Pillow case.



Yes I am kidding.

Go to your local tobacco store and ask the guy for an old cigar box. Then, the next time you get some electronics or leather, grab the silica gel packets that are used to keep the items dry and throw them in the box.

There you go -- an extra dry razor box. I'll take a picture of mine when I get home.

I keep mine in a cigar humidor which I modified for the opposite effect. Keeps 'em dry, and safe.

Very funny you had me laughing out loud, DerekC.
I dry with a non bleached paper napkin, set open, on a clear glass tray on another napkin folded to fit the tray. After showering and dressing, I oil up with Lucas Gun Oil on a Q-tip and store in a plastic tray lined with Rubber non-skid matt with 4, 2in x2in dehumidifier packets and 7 others razors, in a drawer in the bathroom vanity. I am in Southern California and it's fairly dry here.

My children were taught early what not to touch and we never had a problem. My grandson has been introduced to my razors as well as other thing he should not touch and respects them for what they are.

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

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 leave mine open beside the kids shoes

I live in an RV by the ocean so I have to dry them and keep them in my sock drawer with some silica. Even then I've had some issues.

I keep mine in a wooden cigar box in the bathroom, where my son stays in the shower so long mold or rust could grow on you by just walking in. Luckily the cigar box protects them fully.

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