Help me pick a stand

[Cerbul13]

My main razor at this time is Merkur Futur, and I am still using my HJM pure badger shaving brush. However, when I was in holiday, I managed to drop my brush holder on the floor, and since is plastic, it managed to break and can't use it anymore.
So here I am in the quest of finding the perfect holder for my brush. But since I am in this situation, I was thinking to buy something that will work for my futur as well. Obviously I don't want to invest in something that will work only for this setup, and as soon as I change either my brush or my razor, I will end up having to buy another holder..

I was thinking about Omega 226 stand, but I am afraid that it will not work well with my rather long loft of my brush. I think that it will always be close to fall off the holder, for the simple reason that I am afraid that the hair will force push a bit on the middle line.
If anyone uses HJM Brush or any 55mm+ loft shaving brush please share a side picture of the stand to see how badly it touches the middle line.

If anyone uses Futur with any muhle stand, please share a picture, as I will most likely buy that setup(the chrome plate style, not the wiry one).

I ordered the Omega #226 and waiting for it to be delivered.....

I use a 226. You should be fine with the 57mm loft so long as you don't hang the brush from the very bottom, placing it instead so the handle sits atop the brush holder and the knot hangs down. FWIW, it's a great stand. Mine's a year old and sees hard use in a very wet bathroom I share with my girlfriend. Give it the occasional wipe down and it'll last forever.

I haven't seen a stand at under $100 that I like, so I use a nice shaving bowl and leave my brush in that (slanted downwards). If I left my razor out (it's on a high shelf due to kid presence), I'd put it in the bowl as well. I think it looks elegant and artistic (depending on the bowl), and is 1 less item to clutter my sink. My 2 cents.
