Gentlemen,
I have yet to find the brush drip stand that I really liked. Except for this one. It's improvised and my favorite drip stand. The scuttle is Straight Razor Designs and the bowl Edwin Jagger. The set up works for all of my brushes, big and small. Good stuff.
Do you gentlemen have an improvised drip stand prefer?
Hey, that's a good idea!
It's probably not good for my brush but I shake my brush out and let it sit for about 6-8 hours bulb down in my scuttle. I'll have to try your trick out, Obie.
Not much dripping from mine as I whip them on a dry towel and shake them after use/rinsing.
However, I do like them to dry upside down, so I just store them that way. (Broom/mop holders :D)
Thorough rinsing, squeezing out excess water and hang upside down on an improvised wall rack.[ATTACH=CONFIG]213298]
Well, I tried Obies method. My brush handle fits well with the drain hole on my G12 scuttle. Counter space is limited so this is a simple, no extra space used solution. Thanks, Obie.
NOW Richard! I know good and well you have TONS more brushes than THAT! :roflmaoQuote:

Made this out of an old coat hanger when I first started wet shaving. I made it tall to except large brushes, and I use it after every shave. Pretty rickety but gets the job done.

I cut just a bit of the small ends off two for the larger brushes and store the one's I'm not currently using in the sink cabinet. But to have them on the wall like that - just glance and decide which brush to use - awesome.Quote:

Ok, I'll be waiting for it. :) I'm sure it would make my wife happy. She hates this thing sitting on our bathroom counter. :rofl2:Quote:

Get yourself a chunk of soapstone - piece of cake! Sadly this was made to fit a couple of brushes I never use these days, so I need to make another bigger one.Quote:

Sorry Obie - this isn't really an improvised one, but I *really* didn't want to miss what will likely be my only ever chance to one-up Andrew on something brush-related! :)
That's a nice stand Kris, and it just so happens I have a hunk of soap stone. May have to fashion something similar to what you've done.
Nice work. It reminds me of the magnifying glass stand Jeremy Renner uses in The Bourne Legacy. Thankfully my HJM (only brush) came with a little plastic drip stand, so that is what I'm using. I wish it was a little larger though.Quote:

Truth be told, Tom, only four more. Pic taken before the other four were acquired. And yes, a prayer daily to the great soapsuds god asking for a viable lather.;):angel:Quote:

Those could be very useful and keep peace in the family!
John the package says 3". Is that enough to do what you did on the brush stand? TcQuote:

Here's my 2 cents worth. It's called a "Jug Knot". Quick release and its adjustable to fit just about any brush.
Along similar lines, I have a Turkish Jaguar brush that was too big for my stands, so I attached it to a dowel with a leather thong using a slip knot.

I took the base off of wire brush stand and use magnet to hold it to mirror frame.

Necessity is truly the Mother of Invention. I'm inspired, thanks guys.
Those holders were on some type of a "wire brush stand" ?Quote:
