Merry go round stand.

After looking through my wife's scrapbooking gear, I noticed she had a rubber stamp holder. This holder looked like it could serve double duty as a shaving brush stand. After some quick tests and an Amazon order later...

The nice thing about this setup is that I can add a second level to it for more brushes! The extension kit is about 9.00 and the stamp holder itself goes between 12-15.00. I don't have an safety razors (yet) but I think they will fit in the small triangles by the main shaft.

That's awesome!

I like it , but for one concern; how are the "metal" holders as far as possibly scratching the brush handles. The metal coming in contact with my horn & wood handles , makes me cringe.

If there is a nice way to wrap the holders, I might jump on one of these.

Nice but I'd go with Hirlau, don't make it scratch the handles up, glue some leather on or self adhering filt or whatever.

I was planning on gluing some felt to the inside of the metal holders. Right now my brushes are not being damaged by the holders, but if and when I get more exotic material, I will definitely glue on the felt.

Great idea! I use some actual broom and mop spring clamps for mine. I found some felt dots with adhesive backs at the hardware. Two dots on either side of the clamps work fine to avoid metal contact.

That is a favorite of mine too. Get some Shrink Sleeves from Radio shack and slip it over the clips and shrink it to them.
Black Thin : Heat Shrink Tubing |
No more scratching of brushes or other things clipped.
There is a soft urethane tool dip also that could work as a protector.
Good eye my friend!

Yes, Richard! Heat shrink would be the answer! Probably best for this application ! :chapeau

Heat shrink is already used for shaving equipment; Dovo #3580 'Bergischer Löwe' Straight Razor

No Worrys John,I can just make you more:)

Yeah, it's good stuff but on the Dovo I didn't like it at all, not even cut straight and gave it a cheap feel to it, it's also a moisture trap.

You might as well make me a brush holder that mounts on the dash board of my car, cause that's where I'm gonna be living if I keep buying brushes & shave cremes.

Well anything that isn't done with duct tape or cable ties. I mean for fixing things.

Perhaps its for shipping to hold the blade tight in the scales until you receive it:)m. I would have thought the extra width would make the pivot sloppy when it is open. According to the speil its a damn fine looking razor, weird thing to say considering there is a picture of it so you could decide that for yourself, or not.

I have some extra shrink tubing in the garage. I'll try that on one of the arms. I'll also try the felt and see which one "looks" better.

Thanks for the ideas.

Other than the heat shrink on it it's a fine razor, the steel was harder than on other Dovos I've sharpened, I wouldn't have minded keeping it! ;)

The heat shrink tubing will do the trick. I used 3/8 shrink tubing.

I guess I need to get some exotic brush handles now.

OOOOOhhhhhh,,,that was cold,,,,:rolleyes:
