Home made razor stand

Before I get you all excited, I have to say that I am neither a skilled craftsman nor the finished product is professional. It is just an attempt to make my own stuff with minimum tools and some spare time on hand. Here it is, made with Bubinga wood and finished with oil/polyurethane; Can hold 5 razors, just had 4 so placed my brush on top of the last slot.. Comments are welcome - be kind, I am only 3 weeks into wet shaving

I like your brush~

Nice way of saying it It is a RV shredded cash silvertip brush, bought from another member here..

That came out very nice, I need to make one for a straight, DE and brush.

Pretty cool

Good looking stand.

That looks very nice. Good job, sir.

Hey, i f i saw that for sale i buy it

thats a great looking stand!!! i would say if you wanted you could cut the right side to be a brush stand! but i would buy one if it was for straights!!

Very nice stand. The wood and finish are beautiful.

Wow, that looks really cool! I'd buy one of these too. Much nicer than a tiny metal one.

Looking good!! Having acquired a few razors too, I'll need something like that. I just might steal your design, if I may.

Nifty... Did you consider something like a bowl-holder in the center? (Not sure if you use a soap or a cream, though.)

All- thanks for the feedback.. I used Bubinga wood (commonly used for guitar making) that is nice and grainy and finishes well.

Jacob/Somkey/Benjaman - thanks for your ideas. I initially thought of cut outs in the ends for brushes, but then ran into the never ending argument about brushes "upside down" or "upright" for drying.. I think they look nice standing upright.. So I might just make a separate brush stand with circular slots to place brushes standing up and with a large circular slot in the center to place a chrome shaving bowl.. Will show how it turns out..

ShavefanGP,

Great looking stand and love the finish. As for the brush cut out, make the cut out so the brush can hang either way. I too would like to copy your design. Won't be ablep to do any woodworking until this summer but am eager to dable a little.

It looks a lot better than mine ( which is similar, just much rougher). Kudos!

Good Job! It looks nice

You sell yourself short. That is a very nice stand. Clean lines and beautiful choice of materials. Kudos

Very nice job.

Good looking stand, two tumbs up!!
