As for storing my razors with the tang down, it's a force of habit. Also, in a practical sense, that way minute amount of oil on the blade and the shank trickles down to the pivot and keeps it lubricated and helps prevent rust from developing. Of course, I keep the scales and the pivot area completely dry during the shave. Still, a wee bit of lubrication never hurts.
