I'm super stoked to see what people are going to post. I don't really have any nice DIY's of my own, but since I didn't want to buy a stand for my brush just yet, I applied one side of velcro on the back end of it (the soft side) and superglued a square of the hard side of velcro underneath my cabinet. The result is a hanging brush after I'm done using it! It's a cheap tweezerman so I don't mind the velcro.

Here's a brush and razor holder I made from oak and attached to the cabinet next to my shaving sink. Tried to match the color of the existing cabinets... not too bad. Looks better in person (why is this always the case?).

I made a razor holder, plus a shelf to fit above it inside a cabinet. I'm lucky to have a cabinet next to the mirror that holds MOST of my shaving gear. (More razors, brushes, creams and blades can be hidden from sight there. Don't want my wife to think I am going overboard!). My supportive wife made me a shaving robe, too.

I am in the process of making a wooden box for my DE razor. I milled a pocket for a long handled razor and a pocket for a blade package in some walnut.

I then glued some hard maple on the bottom and have some more maple for the lid. I plan to use barrel hinges and a magnetic catch for hardware.

I will have them finished in a couple weeks.

Edit: I also have a brush restoration on the go. I am waiting for a TGN 24mm Silvertip grade A which is going into an Albright Rubberset handle.

Some pretty cool ideas. Im looking to make some sort of stand/caddy for my razors, brush, mugs, and etc. Thinking to modify a toothbrush stand as well.
 
@Quigg thats a really cool razor holder. I'm not the most handy guy in town, but that looks like something I could actually build myself. I'm going to need two pieces of wood and screws.
 
Here are a few things I've made.

My new shave domicile.

I created the layout and the space. Ikea created the sink and cabinet.
 
A quick, adjustable brush stand I threw together last night. I still am going to paint it and it is very functional.

here's a stand i made: it's mdf (should have gone to home depot for actual wood) it's my first one, so hopefully i will improve.
