How do you store your DE?
« on: May 18, 2014, 10:58:02 AM »
Curious as to how you store your DE / s and brush? I was thinking of hanging mine inside my bathroom cabinet! Or, outside of it even.

I hang my brush on a stand by the sink in the bathroom, out of habit I keep my razor in my room (not only to save space in the bathroom but to keep it away from the moisture of the bathroom which BTW can disrupt the longevity of a blade).

I have my razor and brush on a stand in the bathroom. I keep my straight razor in the bedroom as I don't use it everyday.

I am using a new blade after 2 goes so moisture effects will be very much limited

As a bachelor I have the luxury of having the entire bathroom at my disposal ;)  That being said, I have two shelves that I devote solely to shave products and razors.  Brushes I leave on the sink, standing up, to air dry.

With your growing collection you will need more space soon!! lol

It is addictive, DE shaving and the accessories that go with it. Some great products available.

I store my razors on a stainless steel tooth brush holder in room.  Enclosed is one of my sets.

Warhawk, What a great idea. You have an awesome collection of DE razors. I am still working on mastering the technique of using a DE razor without nicking the dome. They do a great job of shaving the noggin nice and smooth.

No no bro, brushes need to be hung upside down to air dry otherwise water can soak into the knot and ruin the brush.

A lot of people disagree on this point.  I've always stood my brushes upside down with no issues, as have many other shavers.

Thats true.  From everything I've read (a ton lol), there is NO conclusive proof that hanging brushes makes any difference in the life or performance of the knot.
