My New Razor Rack

[Barbash]

I posted a while back asking what everyone kept their straight razors in and a few people pointed me towards Smoking Pipe racks. After doing some research I came across the site Two Cousins Pipe Racks and after talking with Mark(one of the cousins) and explaining what I was looking for he was able to take one of their designs and alter it a little for my needs and here it is...

 

[Mr. Scruffy]

Very nice!

inspiring. did you angle the top cradle's slot rearward to prevent razors tipping out?

Mark did and he also slightly tilted the bottom slots so I could store the razors at a slight angle to better display them.

That really is beautiful!! I'm actually thinking of learning to smoke a pipe (I inherited my grandfathers pipe collection may years ago) and make purchase one of these.

That's a very nice rack. You did well.

Didn't anyone else notice the problem of only having spots for 4 razors?

 

[Woodash]

Nice rack. Yes, you will soon need a larger one. A double double entendre....

Haha! For now this was as big as the fiance would let me go and still let me keep it in the bathroom.

I guess Mark was happy with his work because he featured my rack(haha) on his blog this week..

I like it a lot. Now you just need to make one to display a seven day rotation. Then, you need to make one to display your 100 razor collection which is what you will have before long.

Thanks. I figured this one was just a test run to make sure the Fiance liked the look of it before I took over a room with a larger version.

Cool work. Just a thought. you might want to make a safety mechanism for when kiddos arrive (if they ever do).

Congrats on the pending nuptials

Thanks Rich,

I will definitely have to consider the safety bar once their are little ones in the house. Bruce over on SRD gave me a few good ideas with his Old West Style rack when it comes to a safety bar, but I think it will be a little while before I have to think about that. Hopefully by then I am having Mark build a large version of this one for my den.
