I started shaving with a straight razor a few months ago. I had just finished buying all my necessary supplies (brush, razor, 110 blades, etc.) and didn't want to spend another $40+ on a stand for my new brush, so I just made my own with things that I had around the house. I normally only buy glass Coke bottles imported from Mexico, so I used one of those and a Gear Tie reusable rubber twist tie that I bought at the Home Depot, which I used to make the holder to secure the brush. The supplies pictured (brush, wire) cost me no more than $3 total, so I saved quite a bit in making this stand. It is even more secure than most normal brush stands, and this I found out by accident when I dropped the bottle on the floor and the brush was still held tightly secure since the wire wraps all the way around the handle of the brush and then around itself. Btw, I use a DOVO Shavette and the brush is a Vulfix 2273, tiny but awesome.
