For me, brush stands are space savers. I store two brushes in the same shelf space of one without. One hangs down, the other points up resting on handle of the hanging brush.
Yep, what he said.No problems!
Once upon a time a new brush meant buying another stand. Then I realized that I was better off spending my $ on more brushes rather than more stands.
The only stand I have is too small for the handles of my synthetic APShaveCo brush and even my small Semogue boar. So the badger hangs on the stand, but the other two get toweled off and sit on their flat little rumps on the counter. When I come home, I often give the brush of the day a good drying with the towel.I put my stand way months ago and now I just give the used brush several good shakes and squeezing the water out.
Doesn't really matter which way. I always say that most brushes have a stand build in - they have their bottom to stand on.
Just make sure that a brush is completely dried before you put it into a cabinet or any enclosed area.
Absolutely!! I have seen quite a few shedders in my careers as a brush maker, just one again this week I put a new knot in.... and the knot has been thoroughly rinsed through in warm clean water post shave to remove ALL soap or cream residue, particularly in very dense shaving brushes.

Most shedders I fix have excessive amounts of soap/cream inside, and some really give off a soap dust.
Water does not evaporate up. It evaporates out. No matter, it still makes no difference whether you hang your brush or stand it up.
