Blade Storage?

Hi guys, wondering how you all store your blades? I used to put them in draws and then forget how I had them and buy more. I got this box off of eBay, I have currently over a thousand blades in it, but it could hold about 1,500. Now I won't forget where my blades are.

Now I'm thinking of getting another one and filling that. It gives me an excuse to buy more blades.

I know what you mean about the smell. I love the smell of tobacco when it's not on fire. Used to smoke rollies rather than cigars, and fancied a pipe cos pipe tobacco smells the best, but didn't think I could pull off the look! Then I packed it in.

I also think cakes are best enjoyed before they're cooked - lick the spoon with the mixture and forget cooking it. And After Eight sleeves and boxes smell posher than the actual chocolate tastes when you eat it. I'm a contrary bugger. Or just odd maybe

I reckon 1500 blades would see me out - although the maths is somewhat complicated by my straight razors. DE doesn't get used every day.

I got a nice coin case from lidl for like £12-13 and it's even got locks on it too which are a bit crappy though

Another suggestion would be those pod trays you get for those tassimo machines, as it's like a pull out try an you could probably store a lot of blades in them too

here's a pic of what I mean to give you an idea and btw I do think you can get wooden ones too

I store mine in plastic storage boxes you used to get decent boxes from aldi they were 13 compartment but they stopped doing them a while back so I got a large one from ebay I also have a smaller box that has packs of blades I have opened and I use all of them first so it keeps it all neat and tidy

That's a good looking case. I like that. I can't help but feel Mrs Boycie83 would German Suplex me if I pulled a case of that sort out.
lol

yea its a good little case but @ £12/13 bit of an overkill if im being honest lol

funny thing is when i got it i thought let me see the going rates on ebya to give me an idea and some people were selling the ones from like for £25 plus lol

I just keep most in a small drawer and top up a small selection of regular blades in this 3-d printed storage box. I need to print a bigger one if I’m honest as I made this one when I started shaving and didn’t have a vast selection, obviously this has changed!
I like that little box. If I wasn't an excessive hoarder, that would be really useful.
 
Blade storage and more!
I found some old IKEA drawer units in the attic and repurposed them.

The razor storage uses the foam insert from a storage case that @Scorpio93 recommended in a recent post. It fits the drawer perfectly on the width and height, and enough room on the depth for an additional 50 packs of blades.
Left hand unit is empty, awaiting aquisitions!
