Skeletor razor holder. Wire coater hanger bent into brush holder. Glitter tube as arko stick holder.
I don’t which use I like better...I mean lather heater is obvious...but personal fondue maker...that is not bad either!
Ive got a tea mug that I bought at a local Japanese store that I use to soak my brush and rewet it when needed. Its got a dragon hand painted on it and I felt like it would go perfectly with my Japanese razor and Chinese brush.

Thanks, I'm also looking out for nice unusual displays.
Not terribly original but this Blue Mountain Pottery coffee cup works well to presoak brushes
What is odd is how it was acquired. A trip to the cabin about this time last year I found the cup on the front porch. I have a couple of chairs and little table out front and there it was, residue of what looked/smelled like coffee but any liquid long since evaporated off. I checked the property, out buildings, etc for anything else left behind or signs of someone trying to B&E but nothing. I asked my neighbors if it was them and all said no.

One nice thing about using dinnerware or kitchenware for shaving bowls is that you have a much better chance of finding something that matches your bathroom decor (compared to purpose-made shaving gear).
Something like Pinhead or Dischead here...
...but cut slots and install a magnet to hold blades.
That got me looking for Cenobite (characters in "Hellraiser") figurines to turn into blade holders.

I saw someone get the old postal services po boxes like they put into stores in the late 1800's and use it for shaving gear. If you get a chance to go to old towns alot of the old general stores had them. And some still have them and are willing to sell them.
Small pinhead figure drill out top of head and put in a shaving knot. Kind of like the minion brushes showing up now.....maybe one of the pop figures since the are short and chubby usually.One nice thing about using dinnerware or kitchenware for shaving bowls is that you have a much better chance of finding something that matches your bathroom decor (compared to purpose-made shaving gear).

You know...there is a world of useable glassware out there that doesn't cause distractions of thought or focus.

Got a case of these at a university auction decades ago
We use them as toothbrush holders.
The specimen bottles make nice bud vases too.
An old iphone box is just the size for SANEK Strips.

Nice.
Thanks...wife gave me the idea.
This is a reuse of another container. These ingredients have all worked nicely in the past for strop care, so I am blending some jojoba, coconut oil, and cocoa butter and refilling my empty tube. I added only a couple/few crystals of vit c for preservative, as I didn’t want to drop the ph too much.
I popped the tube back open with a blast of compressed air and filled and re-sealed it. Having the cocoa butter with itks higher melt point, I may need to warm it before use. The coconut/pineapple essential oil in the fiji blend may eliminate that need, though.
