razor stand suggestions

[vreddy2000]

so....I was hoping for some suggestions.

my share of the counterspace is a small tray roughly 5"X10".
enough for two brushes two razors a hair comb an alum block and soap dish.

I let both the brushes sit on their base and no issues with that.. the razors right now just lay there.

I really like these

but am on a purchase sabattical.
I was wondering how you hold up the daily razor?
I am hoping for a minimalist kind of setup..
so that eliminates tooth brush holders/pipe racks/brush razor combo stands.

does anyone have any ideas that don't use one of the above?

this might be trivial but I am trying to keep my mind occupied and away from B/S/T :)

That is a very cool stand from Muehle. I wonder if the razor would be lopsided and want to fall over though?

Not fancy at all, but useful for rotating DE razors:

Find a scrap piece of wood. (I used a 1x4 scrap) Drill holes in it with a 3/8" to 1/2" bit depending on your razors. Finish wood to your standards. Stick razors in your new razor rack slash display. Minimalist and practically free.

I love that wooden stand Adam, I'm away to find a suitable plank!

If it helps you pull the trigger on the stand you like then you can get it for $30 here:

..no..its not the price..i am part of the summer of restraint thread..
the stand is nice to have..i really don't need it...and i am trying to come up with ideas ..
since i have all my stuff on a tray ..i was thinking a low profile,
head downwards like the muhle has seems ideal.
but i could not find any others that have a similar idea..
and I am a pretty good googler..so thought I would pose the question to the collective..

That is very nice looking. You could paint it as well.

Nice, clean look

Nice, clean look

I should probably sand and paint/stain that "stand." I made it in about 5 minutes in the garage because I had razors laying around on the sinktop. Now it has water stains and soap residue all over it. My father in law is a master woodworker and would die of embarrasment for me if he saw this.


Here's the deluxe model (ha ha) I have in the garage. This is where I keep the razors that aren't in the everyday rotation.

Totally freehand, no pattern. I kind of prefer the random look to clean lines. I also like the more "raw" look of the wood with it unsanded and unfinished. Seems fitting for a razor stand made from scrap wood found in the shed.

I just ordered a Conk stand, but I think I will be making a wooden rack for all my extras. I can't believe I didn't think of that.

I'm planning on getting one of these. $11 from JC Penney is hard to beat:

I just wish it came in a six or eight toothbrush model.

Make one out of an old fan har har har.

That is quite clever.

Thanks TonyJoe.

I like the wooden block idea too, all sorts of possibilities there. You could go to Woodcraft of somewhere similar and pick up a really nice rectangular block of something exotic for cheap if you were so inclined. Simple & functional.

Wow thats a sweet display! I was just thinking about how I could display mine. Was looking at cheapy toothbrush holders but this is a lot better. I like that you didn't go with clean lines and it does look sweet with the unfinished look. I just don't know what a couple months of water and soap would do to it . Either way I'm interested. *leaves to go find wood*

Nice stand. I'm going to make something like it, I think, I'm guessing birch would be a good wood.

And they're even cheaper at Connaught.

I use the large Dovo stand.

It's the only one that will handle the big Merkurs without tipping over

[xillion]

I made these a while back.

This one holds a razor and brush.

The block is walnut and the hook is made from corian sheet.

And here is the stand for my Feather AS.

I turned it from aluminum bar stock on my friends lathe.
