The stand will hold more if the razors are stood on the tang and more importantly they are less likely to slip out of the base than if stood the other way. At least in my experience doing it both ways.

I was tempted to rush to Target to get one for myself when I realized that I only own 2 razors, one of which has it's own home in the stand that holds my brush and lather bowl.
Wait, I've got an idea.. Buy the stand, put my lone razor in the stand, point out to SWMBO what a bargain the stand was (she's a sucker for bargains), complain to SWMBO that the stand just might tip over without a counter-balance... order another razor...
Yea, that's the ticket:)
I picked this up at kohls
I googled for other versions and found many more at target and others
Hmm... I wonder if this thread has anything to do with Target's website for the green stand now says, "This item out of stock."
(darn it!)
maaaaaaaan, I just got home from Target after buying a snaplink to hook my strop to the wall, oh well, at least I only live a half mile away
Well, no Target where I am, but I just wanted to say that the general enthusiasm on this thread really brightened my day. :)Thanks!

I went to an antique mall and use pipe holders to store my razors:
1. With straight razors (soaps in humidor) in walnut
2. With double edge razors (soaps in humidor)
3. With pipes (its original purpose--had to take the pipes to get the rack)

Note: you have to be sure that the holes on top are wide enough to accomodate your razors. Some aren't. I have a couple of other pipe racks:
1. Another in oak (holds 10)

2. Another in walnut (humidor in middle)
