Do you have a favorite razor & brush stand? When in your DE usage timeline did you decide to get a stand? They seem useful for drying the brush & razor.

Here's mine:
Here it is loaded up (albeit in a previous incarnation before I tried the heat shrink tubing). It is a vintage stamp stand that my wife found in a thrift store. Works great!

Which stand are you talking about?
The acrylic one that you posted.
I got the silver one from Amazon. Made by Col. Conk? I've got all my razors lined up in my medicine cabinet. All 23 of them. I only use the stand for drying the razor post-shave and drying my brush. After the razor is dry I put it in the cabinet. It's fun to open up because it's like a nice store display. I've been wanting to get a few unknown vintage safety razors to add some coolness though. Wish there as many off-brand safety razors as there are vintage safety razor blade makers.
Hi all - I am new to the forum and to DE wet shaving. So far I am liking it a lot - a few bumps and cuts, but nothing perfecting technique won't solve. Here is a stand/brush that I made from a kit I got from Penn State Industries. The brush is Silver Tip Badger and the stand is chrome plated and solid - nice and heavy. The brush handle and the support post are made from acrylic turned on a lathe.
I have this one, and I like it very much. But I will have to say that I paid 60 something not $81.

This is the one I like. To answer the OP's question I'd say my brush dried fine without it and the razor lived happily in the drawer for months before I made a stand.
