Shaving brush problem addressed
Some brushes I have will not fit the hangers available for sale on the internet. The only thing I could do was bend some coathangers out of shape (ignore the nerd behind the iPhone camera):

As you can see, I could only find a store-bought stand for my smallest brushes. What bothered me besides the unsatisfactory way the coathangers looked looked is that one of them scratched the handle.
A wonderful surprise came in the mail today for my 4th of July weekend. I don't know if "Stubblefree" (Vijay) is a member of this forum, but look what he did for me:

Back (notice the high-gloss finish):http://webmail.lusfiber.net/%7Ecalif...%20brushes.JPG
These were custom made to fit my brush size.
I also received a shaving bowl:

The raw materials used are actually coconut shells, and things like this provide a sense of warmth and relaxation to go along with your shaving experience. You can tell by the looks of these pieces that they are truly a labor of love.
I certainly am delighted with this new acquisition. A high five to a master craftsman. Thanks, Vijay! :)
