Thread: Razor storage

Any thoughts?

In a drawer in a dry room (no bathroom attached) between towels (one under, one over). Also a small rotating selection in a cigar box. Camillia oil for most that are not in rotation.

I've got a case I had made for me by a guy that specializes in custom cases. I'll have to post the particulars next weekend. He'll make a soft case to order and can even embroider graphics. I've been really happy with my 6-razor case he made for me, and will have him make a case for the rest of my razors.

I have a small ceder keepsake box that I padded and store the 3 razors I rotate. I also have a wooden tool box with drawers, similar to a machinists tool box, I picked up at Lowes that I use to store the razors I'm working on or not using at the time.

Initially I picked up an old wood box suitable for about 7 razors on eboy which I refinished. back then when I was starting out I just couldn't see ever having more than 7 razors, boy was I wrong. Now I use a gerstner chest. I have about 30 razors and keep saying when that chest is full I quit buying. Am I wrong again?

Yes sir you are quite wrong. I thought that also and so did most of us. There is no hope! Only the "10 steps" and that also you will avoid like the plague. This is quite the art and we love it.

I have a few cigar boxes that reworked for storage and display. Works very nicely

I just started using a cigar box for storage but I have only 7 razors :shock:

I have no kids and my own office at home. I just have them laying on the table by the computer.

I picked-up a small three-drawer plastic deal at a Target store, and keep much razor-stuff in that. The fronts are see-through, so I can keep track of what is in each drawer.

I keep about a dozen or so shavers in the bottom drawer, labelled, "Strop and Shave". The middle drawer, labelled "To Hone" has some others awaiting the stones, and the top drawer, labelled, "Miscellaneous", holds pastes, Magic SRP Microscopes, sandpaper, a Pumice stone, etc. It also hold the razors I am in the process of re-pinning or restoring.

Also, each time I shave with one of the bottom-drawer shavers, I turn the tang in the opposite direction when I put it back. When I have them all facing the same way again, I can then go through the rotation from the beginning once more.

I love this art!
