I open the shower door just enough to allow me to stick my arm in. Hold the brush and whip the devil out of it back and forth. Then set it on the counter, handle down. The brush is now dry enough, that any water left in the handle will dry through capillary action. Since I don't shave everyday, the brush has ample time to dry. If you were a daily shaver, and used the same brush, maybe hanging it would be the safest course of action.
