Thread: long term storage and preservation of razor

Hi all,

I have one razor which I will never use I just bought it to present to my son when he graduates HS he is now 6yro so have a way to go yet.
It is a limited hand forged piece made by theirs issard himself. Blond horn scales and gold etching or plating on the blade.

so who can tell me the best long term storage practice for this . It has already been around for a very long time and I dont want to be the one to allow it to rust or be ruined in any way.

Thanks

Shayne.

Maybe you could keep it oiled and check on it(maybe re-oil) once a year or so.

It's not my business but if I were you, I'd get him started with a beater razor a few years earlier than graduation, maybe when he's about 14-15

Thought of that but Ya I could, yet I kinda just want to set it and forget it if at all possible.

Thanks

Oil breaks down too fast and can leave black spots if left too long. Use tuff glide or renaissance wax for long term storage.
