No pics of it but I have my shave brush from my VDH premium kit being hanged up by paracord on a hook in the bathroom where your suppose to hang hair brushes. Tied a knot to hang on the hook than at the end made a hangmans noose and left enough at the end to where I could run it back up towards the hook again to tie it off again to stabilize it. So it usually hangs at around an 80 degree angle give or take a little if I had to guess. It ain't pretty but it works.

Okay, that is clever, I gotta admit.
Gives me a an idea. I'm gonna get me some tin cases, and "steal" your idea.
Also, in some of my gillette old type cases, the inside was totally rusted underneath, this is a good way to replace the inside!
Kudos my good man, thank you!

Terrific piece! I love it!
No problem! I "stole" the idea from a product I'd seen online somewhere. It was for a plastic insert that you could buy, and I thought, "I can make that!"
You'll have to post pics when you're done with it. I just made another one out of the 5 oz. Holiday Altoids Tin that is going to be a birthday gift for my father in law with a birth year razor for him. I found the original instructions for the Gillette Adjustable online and printed them to put inside the lid.

I employ a similar concept. Manila rope strung on the light fixture, with a slip knot to hold the brush.
Materials cost was negligible as the rope was re-purposed from an outdoor tarp. Fabrication time, including set-up, was under 30 seconds.
Had some time to kill and a messy bathroom counter, some cedar kicking around so put this together.
Any finish on that wood jef?
Lots of mineral oil is all I did. Looks great natural.
Got a nice razor rack from Target for $15. My wife actually made me get it and took the pictures of my den for me. Only been into wet shaving since early December. This rack has holes for 9 razors and two larger holes which could fit a straight. The Tech's fit perfectly. My Merkur 23c is a little tall and sticks up about a half inch. The TOBS ad Proraso Pre/post fit perfectly under the shelf. There is also a nice groove that runs the whole length which can hold various packs of razors.
Inspired by another member in the forum to turn a shadow box into a razor display. Not happy with how the hooks lined up, or misaligned I should say. Might work on rev 2 to somehow improve it. Nonetheless I'm pretty happy with it.
Saw this at target today for $17, no discounts yet
I recently discovered this sweet aluminum coke bottle and immediately turned it into a blade bank. IMHO it looks better than a soup can sitting around.
My Travel Tin that i made yesterday.Tin from Amazon Cut out foam from Sears.

There's a lot of nice work and creativity displayed in this thread. It's particularly interesting to see the various types of materials that people use and the variety in the stands created. I purchased a stainless steel brush/razor stand but after seeing this I'm inclined to possibly make something. Thanks for the inspiration.
Absolutely beautifulHeres an old photo of my razor rack-
If I get off my kiester, I'll reshoot the shave den-

omg I have been looking for something like this and the prices is awesome under 20?!?! THEY DONT HAVE THEM ONLINE
I cannot take credit for this idea. I saw it some shaving forum last night, which I could not find again this evening. Anyway, I tried it today and so far it's working great! Plus, it's dirt cheap for those of us on a tight budget. The original pics I found for this are out there on the web somewhere, and the author used an Old Spice Swagger deodorant stick container, so thanks to whoever you are for the inspiration.
This doubles as a DE razor stand and travel case. Simply empty an antiperspirant / deodorant stick, pull out the top plug, widen the hole to the width of your DE razor handle, and you're good to go. You'll have to pinch the ends to get the head of the razor inside the protective cap, but it will fit and hold it snug.
As a razor stand, simply put a little bit of water inside the protective lid to weight it down as a base, turn the container upside down, snap the lid onto the bottom, and put your razor down through the top hole. There is a bit of a gap below the razor head for air circulation, and it will dry just fine.

I made these from little boxes that you get at office supply stores. The foam and mirror are from a craft store. And the little hook is a 'gorilla hook'. There is a hole in the cover so it can be hung up when camping.
I also have a couple Altoids tins converted like some other guys here.
