I have got to upgrade!
I made an interior for my favourite razor box last year.
I made cut outs in the foam before covering it, so the handles dont move and the gap top and bottom stop the razors moving.

Another coat hanger rendition.
This was my project when I could get a few minutes after my twins were born.
I made it from a piece of koa. There is no hardware in it, just a little wood glue to make the base tighter to the riser.
My tools are limited so this was made with a coping saw, hand drill, dremel, and lots of sandpaper.
The finish is Formby's Tung Oil Finish (which is not real tung oil, it's a varnish derived from tung oil).
Koa is beatiful. After finishing it has a tiger-eye like appearance.
My wife uses the mach 3's...

Awesome projects everyone. I'm working on my own custom razor/brush stand right now so hopefully I'll have some pictures to add to this soon.
That is brilliant and looks awesome!!! Great space saver.
I like that, fits right in the corner, which is were SWMBO puts my shaving stuff.
Made this Brush/Stand combo for a friend of mine.
Brush handle is cherry wood, with a 22mm Finest from TGN. The stand is Osage Orange wood.

beautiful work! Handcarved? What tools did you use?
For the stand, i cut out the curve in the middle with a jigsaw (not fun i might add). That Osage proved to be a very worthy opponent, not only to the jigsaw. But to the 50 grit sandpaper. It was a block, so i also used a handsaw to cut off the corners. Then i sanded the heck out of to make the back of it round.
For the handle, i used a black & decker RTX rotary tool. Along with a lot of sanding to shape it out. I used a marine spar sealer (three coats) to protect it from water/moisture.
Thank you sir.
Very nice. I love the grain and the finish.
Had a chunk of 660 Bronze left over and turned it into a stand, Lined with leather and painted it
Pretty good work.
It matches.
