Hopefully I'm allowed to post in this thread; I don't hang my brushes from anything. Instead, after flicking them as dry as possible by hand, I set them down standing up on their ends, with the bristles to the sky and let them dry that way.
There has been at least one lengthy debate as to whether one way is better than the other. In my personal experience, the way I use works perfectly well.

Thanked: 14I used to just stand mine up, but decided that this would let water pool in the knot, so I made a stand and it now hangs from the handle.

Velcro under the medicine cabinet. For flat bottom brushes.

For me, it depends on the size of the brush, since I only own one razor/brush stand. It's either by the base of the handle or the knot. And +1 to what Obie said about towel drying. I do that and fluff and reshape the hairs before I hang the brush.

Thanked: 12I just bought a new brush to replace one that seemed too big for my face and had more than a few hairs going in every direction- How fix that-just trim them off??
Anyway my wife bought me a chrome stand and of course it would not hold either the old or the new so today I took it to the diamond grinder- fits the handle above the hair now hanging down- seems to let the hairs stay together for me.

Thanked: 124I'm another that just sets his brush right side up without a stand, it works fine. I got rid of my stand a while ago when excess shaving paraphernalia lost its luster. When I did use a stand ,though, I used one that grabbed the base of the handle. The ones that grabbed the tops of the knots seemed to bend bristles if not used carefully.

I do both. When I finish shaking the water out, I put it in the holder bristles up to allow the water vapor to escape upward.....I'm kind of paranoid about getting brush rot (if there is such a thing). The next time I use the bathroom I flip it back over. I really don't think there's a right or wrong way.
It's OCD with me. I spent $150 on my brush and want to get another 9 years out of it.

I just shake mine out real well and dry it standing on its base.
