As my collection of straights grows, I have almost as many that need restoration/re-scaling as I do that are shave ready and in my rotation.
I was leaving them laid out flat in my closet(in the shave den) but they were out of sight, out of mind.
I was using this pipe rack for my DE's but since switching to straights, I had no need to keep them on display.

Next time you are in an antique store and see a pipe rack/stand, it makes a handy holder for your project blades(and with some modification, will hold any scaled straight too.)

You cold make a multi tier one with lazy Susan's on each tier for extra insanity :lol:.

No! then I would never get done!
My plan is to finish these, then use it as a finished razor stand, then I'll be done.



Done he says :lol:

Excellent idea! But then, where would you put your pipe? :wink: I bet a display of alternating pipes and razors would be cool:w00t:

Actually, something like this would be ideal! *if you didn't already have one, that is*

I actually almost bought one very similar to that, in a dark brown oak (english I believe)
