Hand made razor/ brush holder

Hey everyone,

So for a while now I have been looking for a small shave stand for my bathroom. After hours of looking online I couldn't find anything that really fit my budget that I really liked. So I decided I would go ahead and make myself one! After some looking around I found a few simply designs but none of which I really liked... There was one I found here on the forums that I kinda liked but it just seemed a little to plain for my taste.

So I decided to just think up of my own... this is what I came up with.

It works perfectly! This is just a prototype so to speak so my next one will look a little cleaner and be painted up real nice!

If anyone is interest I can post pictures of the whole process...

Enjoy!

PS - I am also working on a homemade metal scuttle at the moment... will upload pictures when finished!

If you refine your technique, can you post measurements for the starting material and what you are using? Twisting and bending wire is probably something I could without hurting myself!

Not a problem! It is actually made out of a old coat hanger and uses all of the full length except for 1 inch. I will make sure to make another one tomorrow with pictures and tools used.

Looks nice. I did something similar for my DE, though not as fancy as yours. :)

Very cool! I like that it keeps the razor well airated so it will dry fast.

Just a small little update on the stand...

I sanded and polished the whole thing then hit it with some clear coat to stop it from rusting.

I also had a problem with it slipping around on the counter so I ran a small beed of silicon around the bottom to give it some grip.

How to steps coming soon.
