Coat Hanger Razor Stand

[Seamus30]

I needed a stand for this new razor but I didn't really want to spend money on it so I made one from a wire hanger. I used a little torch to heat up where I was going to bend it, used pliers to shape it and eyeballed it to see if it was square. It's not square, time to get my eyes checked again I guess. But it does hold the razor straight which is the most important thing. Any other ideas for home made razor stands?

Granted it is not what I would call Elegant but I think what you did was way cool!

Now, where did the Mrs. Hide my torch?

 

[Mcmen4my]

Thats awesome! it has that rustic feel too it. Definitely a good idea and original!

Neat! Are you going to hit it with a quick coat of paint?

 

[BSAGuy]

A man and his torch--it's a beautiful thing! Nicely done sir!

 

[Badger Believer]

Very cool, sir! I need to do something similar for my backup brush

 

[jamarrs]

Man that's awesome. Sadly, I've no torch or handy skill.

Great job!

 

[ValleyDude]

Way cool DIY!

I like it, and I think it's an excellent idea for brushes. I have a couple of combo razor/brush stands, but the brush holder isn't large enough for every brush, so a homemade one from a wire hanger (with apologies to Joan Crawford) is an excellent idea!

Brilliant. It's now on the todo list.

Thanks for all the positive feedback! That stand only took about 10 minutes to make, it's a little rough but I did it freehand without a square. I have a little workshop out back but there's no heat and it's bitterly cold here right now but when it warms up, I'm gonna make another one using a vise and a square. I expect that one to be better. But this one works fine and it's something most of us can do ourselves.

It looks nice! As far as it not being square, hang in there (pun intended) practice makes perfect.

Simple and efficient. Have you thought of taking a couple of those, mounting them in a board and mounting the board to the wall?
