Freeze your razor as soon as you can. Put four or five into a freezer or sandwich bag. They will freeze quicker and that way you only have to take a few at a time with you. As for the lug Brian is right they should stay alive for a week in this weather in newspaper. Just keep an eye on them.

razor will keep for a week in the fridge lay them in a tray with a bit of sea water and change it every few days ,they can be fun to put on the hook when they are lively :lol:
