What's new

I need your help gathering some data, Please

Hi all,
I have been looking for a good makshift rack for my DE's.
The toothbrush holders dont hold enough.
The test tube holders i have seen are not of very good quality.
ETC.

So I am just gona have to make my own out of high quality wood.
I am one to make plans and templates etc. for a project i know may be useful for others.

If you guys, especially SE and Large DE owners could post some dimentions of your razors her that would be great.
I want it to be able to hold any SE or DE razor that falls into my hands.

The data that will be helpful for me is pictured.

Brush handle small and large dimensions could be helpful as well.

I may go as far as to need Closed strait dimentions as well.

Ideas for the number of items held may be helpful too.
I am currently planing on a rack that holds 4 Brushes and 12 Safety razors.

Thanks Guys!

For razors, I would drill each hole at 11/16" and have 5 1/2 to 6" of room for the handle to hang down. Razor heads are about 1 5/8" long and 1" or so wide.
 
Here's what I use.

It's wall mounted so it's not cluttering the counter, you can make it any length and depth you want, you can cut the slot deep enough to hold 2 razor each.

That works as well.
Sweet progress nob!

I am gona make a self standing one to put on a shelf. Two tier and the razor heads rotated 90 degrees as compared to yours so the handles end up being closer together. I gess im shooting for something more compact.
 
I am using 1/2 inch red oak to make the rack.

It is of two tier design the 2nd level having larger diameter hols than the first.

It holds 12 DE razors

I have also began experimenting with built in blade despensers, 1 on each side to provide ample room for my feathers and wilkinsons.

Pictures to come when it is completed, stained and protected.

My biggest decision right now is based on handle length.
What are the lengths of your handles?
