This is a "niche" item. But we all know that plenty of folks in the "community" like things that others don't have and are shiny. This will sell.
I made the same mistake. I just didn't want to draw attention to it - grin.Oh......
never mind!
Wow. That is a big improvement for me. I would be very tempted to buy one.Well Gents, I have a revised prototype for you to review.
Tell me what you think @FarmerTan, @Lightcs1776, @02flhtci, @ackvil, @skibik, @Frozenshades, @stone and strop, @DocPapi, @RookieGuy, @Marhos24, @gvw755, @Rhody, @vacman, @MTG Jr, @GRUNTSHAVE, @Tedolph, @Suhrim21, @ouchyfoot, @AshleyQ, @Razorburne, @EclipseRedRing, @shave/brush, @It's Hedley, @Ron R, @Cphobes, @Whiterook, @Timeclo, @Aaron Hall, @Toothpick, @Gringo_Chulo, @BigD, @KeenDogg
Here is what has been amended:
~ It has the bottom lip of the one on the left in the original picture. Opinions were divided so I picked that one.
~ It was made taller to accommodate a razor up to 4 1/4" in length. That is a Feather with black handle that is 4 1/4" long.
~ It has a floor in it for the convenience of being able to store other items. Toothpaste and toothbrush are featured. The toothbrush is sitting in a holder (not seen) but the bottom can be rigged to your own personal needs to hold straight razors or whatever.
~ This is the raw clay that has not been fired yet. Once done it will be in Gunmetal (black.)
~ The brush holder will accommodate any size or shape handle. A thin line is knotted on the outside of the holder and threaded through the side. It passes up and over the side, fitting right down into a designated slot to hold the damp brush.
~ Pricing looks to be around $32.00 give or take.
~ The flared edge has been flattened somewhat and slightly extended to ensure that the razors are secure. You can see they fit into the deeper slot in a more secure manner than the first version.
So tell me, what do you think? Not going for the hard sale - just not me - but is it something you would buy? If you would not buy, is there anything that can be done that would make it more appealing?
Thank you for helping out, it is much appreciated guys.

It seems like you have interesting proto type bowls. At first I had to get my head around if it was for storing razors or a lather mixing bowl. If you use it for just a mixing bowl it has merit and use one razor it will work Ok IMO. If you put 5 razors on it for rack storage you would have to remove them every time to mix lather. To buy racks for razor storage are not cheap either. For $25-30 would be very tempting for myself. Living in Canada the price would be 1.38 times higher also.
As long as my royalties help pay for it....I would buy one if I had a sink with a counter. (Not just bolted to the wall). it’s both functional and artistic. As I stated before, married men that share the bathroom with there wives would be smart to buy something like this to assuage harmony in the toilette.
I liked the original one on the left with the rolled lip, and I think you have improved it.
You should charge at least $135 for it and they will be snapped up by decorators and high end shoppers as fast as you can crank them out. It’s a unique product and the niche market will pay for it.
So tell us what you really think.Don't do it!
I don't know what it is and I would never buy it.
Very practical stand, a small batch for sale might indicate if it appeals to others. I have over 40 razors and use racks but for a person with a few razors or his favorites would appeal to them possibly. I have seen some cheap razor and brush stands for $30 + and are not as nice as your proto type IMO.Well Gents, I have a revised prototype for you to review.

Brother, I just had to tell you that I wish you would post more often, lol.Nice work Cap. That design is far improved in my opinion. Great call on the brush holder design. That is a fair price estimate and something I would be more likely to buy over the first design. I think it's just down to counter space if I would buy one or not. In the process of buying the first house with the better half...
