Dear B & B Members:
I won this 'gem' off of Ebay and want to convert it into a Razor & Brush Holder / Stand.
Currently, I have three (2) Brushes & two Razors which I would like to place in the holes provided (razors are no problem...just slip them through the holes).
I realize one can't do too much just by looking at a picture, but how would you convert three (3) holes to accommodate Brushes (maybe using wood-working techniques and 'open' the holes to fit each Brush and slip them in from the top).
I would use the Jar for Blades, Styptic Pencils, Tweezers, ect...
I'd really appreciate any advice and /or comments
Thanx...
Christopher
Ok here we go. Please excuse the crude drawing. I had a few minutes during lunch to throw this together.
The black dots in Fig. 1 represent the holes currently there. The dotted lines represent the cutting that you would do (based on the size of your brush and the diameter of the razor handles). Fig. 2 shows what the end result would look like after the material was cut out.
Also, because of the minimal clearance you have to work with, I would recommend using a drill press vs. using a bit in a handheld drill.

This is my Shave Den
Hanging on the Bathroom wall is my Converted Pipe Holder...Thanx Oldeschool
In the Jar are Chelsea's Unscented Shave Soaps and Derby Extra SS Blades. The Razor is a Merkur 23C, the brush to the left is a C-M Pure Badger, the one to the right is a Parker Black Badger and finally Clubman & Alcohol (for razor sterilization).
On the sink to the left is a Robert Becker Scuttle, followed by a Merkur 38C and a FS Silvertip Brush, and my finally my 'very own' Sterling Silver Baby
Cup (because it fits Chelsea's Unscented Shave Soap perfectly...unwrap...in the cup...no hassles...no issues), my Mother gave me (as my family Keepsake), many...many 'moons' ago.Also, yes..my B & B friends...it's engraved with my name, birthday and this note;
