Hey all, great info here. I've decided to keep my razor in a silicon sleeve, in a clean sock, in my sock drawer. For oil, I have a bottle of 3 in 1 that I've used for pocket knives to great success. Is this a decent oil for a razor? And FWIW, I've been especially conscientious of keeping the scales and everything near the pivot completely dry during shaving. That's easier said than done, but so far, I've kept it up.
LOL got me there
Not bragging but to furnish sleeves for the razors I have would be

Can I shave at your place? My bathroom has only one window, into an airwell. Jealous.
That will work wonderfully. Your razors have a happy future ahead.

Here's where I keep my current rotation. One of a kind, bespoke Cobra skin 7 razor case, made for me in Bangladesh a few years ago.
slash, does the sleeve go on the razor in between the razor and that snakeskin, and does it capillary-action leak the oil/silicone on to the leather?

I'm not using sleeves in it. Just a very light coating of oil. Hasn't created any problems. Certainly a trace of oil gets into the leather but no biggie. In a drier climate, or in a house with AC running all the time, (this is on my sailboat) I probably wouldn't oil razors going in this case.
If you use the sleeves, I don't think they recommend oiling too.
Its a silverware chest that I keep in my bedroom. Works awesome and lets me know when I have too many straights
Not shown are the dessicant packs that I keep in there to prevent moisture.Chris
Nice looking solution!
Once the blade has dried thoroughly, dip it in a solution of 4 pts. methyl alcohol to 1pt. USP mineral oil, taking care not to touch the scales with it. After a few minutes, once the alcohol has evaporated, fold the razor up and store it away in a relatively dry place (i.e., not the bathroom).

I took note on you treasure trove, in silver wear box, and you said lets you know when you have too many straights, lol I have outgrown two of such boxes, as my collection (addiction) keeps growing. Latest box is 44 razor capacity, not there yet on filling this latest one, I need to stop buying razors
I have the first two for sale, both are 24 razor capacity.
