Thread: Some tips on my storage case pls.

Yes it's going to be mounted on a wall, I have a rechargeable demoisturizor thingamabob that will go into the cabinet.

Try home hardware. For some reason I seem to remember buying some there several years ago.

Grabbed a packet of 100 from Lee Valley for 2.50 bucks. And then I just had to "browse" final bill 69 dollars... It looks like I can put 8 razors in there in two rows offset from one another.

Ha ha - you got off light! It's amazing how quickly a browse of that store can head north of $100 in a hurry.

And better yet, if I do something similar, I'll know who to bug for some hooks.

I should have a few left over They are the small ones and are just L shaped, to be honest I would prefer a J style hook, but they didn't have that kind. I've searched all the hardware and building stores in town for these little buggers lol.

That little lathe is still there too...I swear its watching me...

In my longun safe I used woooden dowel pins so I can stack shoulder to shoulder, to take up the least amount of space. Perhaps a contrasting wood. A small strong magnet at the tang would keep them from jumping out.

I used a few small rare earth magnets from HF for my over sink rotation set. They will hold a razor well and allow the razors to dry with the pivot upward. I also used them in a wall hanging shadow box such as yours. I epoxied the magnets into holes drilled in a thin board and then glued the board to the top of the shadow box. Your box should easily hold two rows! Install all the magnets with the same pole upward, that will keep them apart at the wedge end, otherwise the razors will swing together. You can stagger two rows on each board if you wish.

Whatever you do, It is always nice to have the razors in view when not in use.

That is a good idea. Now I have to go back and rethink my design.

Recently my father in law gave me his mechanic hand tools and now I have several sets of wrenches. I was looking for a way to organize my roll away tool boxes and I found this video on cutting foam drawer liner. The liner is available from Sears but also from a few other places as well. This guy has a good, simple video on how to cut the foam to French Fit your tools.

When I saw this vid, I though of your thread. This is a simple way to hold you display razors with a Foam French Fit. If you get more razors and need more space, just re cut foam for a Spine up, shoulder to shoulder fit.

The foam sells at Sears for $19 a sheet and is on sale for $16.
