I just won two of these old carousels. I plan to buy some electrical shrink wrap tubing of the appropriate size. Hit 'em heat and they will be tight onto the arms and protect the razors.
Is that a snurdle spoon there?
That was my plan for brushes, but now they share it with the razors.
I was lucky to find a mint-in-box one that holds 12, for $8 at an army surplus place.
I can literally rotate my razors and brushes.
Since that photo was taken, I've filled the outer ring with brushes (except for one razor with a much longer handle), and the inner spokes with razors.
Yeah. For that reason I'm thinking of using something like a wooden spice rack against the wall for both brushes, standing on the shelves, and razors, hanging from the bottom.
I really only need to suspend one brush handle up at a time, while it's drying overnight, then it could go handle down.
Also, this rubber stamp rack is not practical for the larger brushes, like that Tuxedo, and an Omega 10049 (not shown).
This will save a lot of real estate on the counter top.
You gentlemen seem to have a large collection. Mrs will kill me if i spend and have such a large collection. In case of divorce wife can have everything but your razors....LoL
Honey you can have everything but leave the razors,soaps,blades and aftershaves on the way out....rofl

Design is still evolving, but this is what I use.
Nice!
Where did you get these? Like it!
I have them made in-house at work.
Well made!
Lol I take it your not married? Hehe
Actually I've been happily married for just about 14 days shy of 12 years. My wife really likes the barber pole!
I even converted her to DE shaving and made her her very own custom shaving brush.
Yesterday's mail call included the new OneBlade vertical aluminum block stand. Here's my regular rotation warriors at the ready.

Another update: The carousel is now given over to razors only. Brushes and bowls/mugs are on a knickknack shelf.That was my plan for brushes, but now they share it with the razors.

I later used clear polyurethane tubing on the clips to protect the brush handles, but I really should have used heat-shrink. The tubing is not flexible enough to follow the curve closely.
Since that photo was taken, I've filled the outer ring with brushes (except for one razor with a much longer handle), and the inner spokes with razors.
Still need something different as the carousel is too short for three of my razors.
I'm on the lookout for, or may fabricate, something more like stackable test tube racks, to save on countertop real estate.
This would be perfect...
... but I'm not prepared to install pegboard in the bathroom.
However, something like a thin picture frame with holes drilled in the verticals could work.

I thought I would just collect some modern razors that were good from reviews and made a crude rack for storing my small Razorock collection of razors and I would keep my eyes out for something better. Well the hobby and Rad 2018 & 2019 with my desires into vintage Gem, Everready, Gillette and of course Schick razors because all those razors are awesome IMO. So I just keep improvising 4x4 x 6 inches long - 8 razors to a rack with various hole sizes to accommodate Schick odd razor handle diameters to all the great razors that have been MFG. I have razors that are well over 100 yrs old and perform like the day they came out of the factory's. They are not the prettiest racks but they will work until I make or find something nicer. The humidor is for storing blades and duplicates of razors and was bought for $3.00 at a garage sale that is kept under the sink.
It's nice to have razors in eye sight range because "out of sight out of mind" sets in so why collect nice razors is my thought.
Have some great shaves!

You could also get some heat shrink tubes cut to the right length put them over prongs heat with hair dryer to shrink and you're done.. You could even get different colors for different razors if you wanted to.
Terrific idea!!

Different and Some great effort and thought went into that master piece, great razor and brush stand. The razors hanging off the door is nice also as long as you don't slam the door if in a hurry.
Also nice collection of razors you have accumulated over the years. It's nice when you visually display your razors you tend to use them. As the old saying goes"out of sight out of mind" words of wisdom.Have some great shaves!
Also you can take a piece of pegboard and mount it in a picture frame just remove the glass and everything and put the pegboard into the empty frame..
Not my pic but like this and hang what you want on it..found pic online....
