    Thanks guys! I got the idea from some stands on etsy and just modified it a little.

    200 holes may be a little to large for my skills though , 10Pups .

    I've just recently gotten into woodworking and it truly is a great hobby

    Looks great! Not one for exposed razors, but I really like this design. Being a DE an straight user this works great for a steady rotation. Did you hand sand the edges of the holes? They appear tapered but all so uniform didn't know if it was hand done or router? Either way I like this an may steal this design.

    I drilled them out with a hole cutter then used a router to round all the edges, then hand sanded to get some burn marks out. I don't like exposed razors all that much either but they are my daily shavers(only shavers haha) so they get used and inspected regularly

    Cool. That was pretty close to the method I figured was used. Nice work.

    Here's my new razor stand, and believe me for somebody that's all thumbs like I am this IS an accomplishment. Found some oak slabs at Lowe's Hardware and put it together.

    I have a stand Mastershake made for me but I didn't want to expose that one to the steamy bathroom conditions so I made one to put there.

    Actually I found a stand I wanted to buy at Etsy but the brush opening was too small for the brush handles I use. I asked him if he could enlarge the hole for me and he never got back to me, so I got this bright idea to try and make my own. It's functional for me and I like the color and texture that the pre-stain, stain, and varnish added to the wood. I'm thinking of making a big one for the brushes and razors that I store in bulk.

    Straight razor shaver and loving it!
