Thread: Straight Razor Display

Just got this finished and hung on the wall. 23 X 32 with a small shelf.
Will hold 24 Straights and 6 SE/DE Razors.
Backed with dark grey felt and super magnet put under the felt to hold the blades open.
I used gold colored Cup hooks. Cut off the ends of the hooks and put some wire shrink tubing on the tips of the hooks to cut down on scratches.
I pretty happy with it. Made it to hold twice as many razors then I own and I think the wife figured out why already. Ha. The bottle on the shelf is the Oil I use to coat my razors just to be safe.
Hope you all like it.



BTW, The DE's and SE are my 4 Birth date razors, plus a 1912 Gem (about grand dad's birth date) and a Old Ball-end 1930's (About Dad's Birth date).

Very Nice,, Well Done,,Ty

Great solution to a common problem. Very well executed!

Excellent work on your display, but I must deduct 1 point for the added storage space giving away your RAD strategy to the wife.

Looks awesome great job

I cant hide anything from the wife so I'll take the minus 1 point. ha.

Thanks guys. I thought about how to make this for a while, and checked out what others have made and stole some of there ideas. So its not all my idea. I wanted to have the blades open to show them off plus helping in the drying. I figure if a blade still has microscopic water still on it and you close it up in the scales your creating an issue.

I only oil my razors when they are put away and not used for a week or more. The one that I use for the week (as I use the same one for a week at a time to get to know it) don't get oiled. This display is in my radio room/Man Cave. Not in the bathroom. My grand-daughter cant get to any of them because of how high I have it mounted. So they are safe and the hospital bills should be without cut-off finger bills.

Thanks for the reply's.

Very nice idea thanks for sharing, im in the same boat hard to hide rad purchases from my wife. Its like her spidy senses go off every time!

Nice work on the display! As your wife already knows, I am sure it will be full soon
