I'd like some ideas for some DIY brush stands...especially brush/razor combo stands. I am not a woodworker like some of you, although I can saw and sand...so simple things are fine...
I am leaning in the direction of bending some brass rod (bought for pins) and putting it in a wood base

I'm working on some ideas in polymer clay... not good ideas yet, but they're getting there. :)
Well Luke I have made my own brush and stand. It may be considered simple. It is here:

HAHA you know thats not simple:nono: theres a lot more then saw and sand in that, its more of a brush sculpture then a brush stand ;)Quote:

Okay, I was being funny.Quote:

You can even get away with the wire sticking out of the wall with this idea:

The only thing is the hole in the brush should be rinsed clear of soap before hanging.
I like that idea!
A piece of double stick tape would be real minimalist and invisible or if your willing to go that minimalist why not just stand the brush up...:p
Holy crap! First I'm too complex then I'm too simple. You are tough!:DQuote:

Why not a couple of roofing nails half ass pounded into a stud in the wall? Not only cheap, but very easy.
Well, there's something to be said for aesthetics. This stand was partly a trial run. I think it would be more attractive with some decorative curlicues and curved support members. Actually, next time I might fabricate something that mounts on the wall and has a row of those u-shaped holders for a whole row of brushes. I don't like too much clutter, and my sink is starting to accumulate gizmerators and doodads at an alarming rate.
I made this one to free up counter space.

Now that looks smart! Nice job Wopman!:tu
I made this one out of one of those department store hangers with the clips for pants.

My brush stand was thrown together out of necessity with no purchase required. Having given myself my first shave, I suddenly had the problem of what to do with the wet brush. I ran around the apartment until I saw one of my pipe cleaners (I smoke a semi churchwarden, so it's extra long) twisted it, put the brush in, and hung it over the shower rod. 3 months later, that's still what I'm using.
A french shaving pal just glued a magnet on his badger... and put it on his bathroom shelf..:D
Hi.
Always said to keep it simple. More simple than this you die...
One piece of wood, a few inches of brass rod in 1/16 or 1/8.
Drill two holes in the wood, bend the rod et voilą!! done.
