Thread: Shave Cave Hang up

Hi folks, I've been watching and waiting to find a nice shelf like this. Local salvage store had one. Thanks to an idea from Bill Ellis plus a lot of think time here is a really simple way to get the razors off the counter to dry. Just a few magnets a set into the bottom of the shelf and voila!

Plenty of beef in the rare earth magnets to hold a W&B without it dropping.

I used the cylindrical Neodymium Magnets 1/4 in x 1/4 in. I drilled the holes to ¼" diameter and just a slight bit deeper than ¼." 2part slow setting epoxy and 20 minutes made the mods. It takes about a full pound of pull to get a razor off the magnet. I aligned the magnet poles the same way on all. so I don't have razors swinging.
The idea would work for any shelving.
Have Fun!

i would be so paranoid that it would fall

It doesn't bother you that you are magnetizing your razors? Just curious.

They use to sell Magnetized razors as a sales gimmick so
I don't know that is really is doing any damage. I would just be concerned with the blades locking together if you are cleaning or honing them all at the same time.

Magnetizing the razor? Well, some of them were magnetized when I purchased them. I use a magnetic jig to hold the blades when I renew them. No, I am not worried about that. I think that improperly storing them when wet is a greater problem. I was surprised at how well the monkeys tails stick to the magnet. I made sure that all the magnets had the same polarizing and only one pole was out on all of them. I would not want to have them swing together.
