Storing shave sticks

[Kingpepper]

I just received an Erasmic shave stick. Got a very nice shave with it. What is the best way to store it after being used?
Thanks!

Paul, I usually rinse them after use, then let them air dry during the day, and store them standing up in the closet. If the foil is still intact (and not ripped from opening when new) then I will wrap this around the soap portion.

I have had sticks in there for a year, and they still smell the same and lather just as good as the first day. :D

I better unwrap it and let it dry. Now to find room in my cabinet! Thank you Joe!

I do find it good to unwrap.....the sticks that I (in the past) did not allow to air-dry, like Arko and Palmolive.....got funky in various ways.

The arko is paper, and the ink bled into the stick causing it to have red spots.

The palmolive foil, which was down in the plastic holder, may have gotten moldy/rusty/funky.

So I would recommend removing all foil or wrappers before using, that way they'll stay intact and you can use them to "wrap" after they dry, and for travel

Before using the stick I completely unwrapped it and put the holder on it, then used. I better go unwrap as I didn't let it dry.

Im waiting for some Wilkinson sticks...so basically undress it....let it dry....then put the foil back on right?

I don't rinse them after use. Just let them dry and store them in a cabinet.

I rinse them and let them dry as well as store them on top of a cupboard :D

OK, so then what is your technique for traveling with them?

[Mottern Man]

I stick mine in a Ziplock tub, like my other soaps.

BTW is that Erasmic stick not great or what. :D

I need to find a good way to store them while traveling. Foil wrap is not going hold up well in my shave kit jammed into my bag.

Perhaps a large pill bottle from your pharmacy of choice.

Just ask for one, they'll give it to you.
