I try to keep my razor and blade as clean and dry between shaves*
Storing the blade inside the razor complicates getting the setup completely dry.
After some tinkering, I came up with this:
Discerning Gentlemen, for your perusing pleasure, I present The Comb Stand - a blade drying stand of unparalleled design and cheapness.
Below you can see the threads tying the two metal pieces together, plus another thread tying the head to the wood base.
The metal parts came from a $5 Yaqi DOC Mellon head.
The wood base came from the extravagant packaging of my wife's Auglamour Chi-Fi earbuds.
The whole setup is literally held up with string (sowing thread). It took just 20 minutes to make (though a lot longer to design).
The only tool needed was a needle ;-)
* When two different metals touch in the presence of water, a battery is formed. One electrode *will* dissolve. Fighting electrochemical corrosion is hard. The best approach is to remove the water or separate the dissimilar metal parts.
Feel free to laugh at my OCD.
May your blades be sharp and your shaves comfortable.
