Razors

==== Storage ====
For storing the razors that I have in regular rotation, I took an old cigar box and some foam that I had from a computer parts order. Here are the results. (Apologies for the blurry pic, better to follow.)
For the razors that aren't in the regular rotation, I have a cabinet in the guest bathroom for storage and display.
