The Ultimate Wood shaving Razor and Brush double decker stand

[Rhinehoth]

I was about to purchase this (https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/552661335/the-ultimate-wood-shaving-razor-and?ref=shop_home_recs_9) from Etsy when I noticed the shipping cost. The razor and brush stand costs $170 but the shipping is $144; it is a nice stand though and it would look great in my bathroom. I wonder if I could make that myself?

Looks pretty straightforward to me - only basic woodworking skills required.

Looking at the item and approximate weight and size, a mail forwarding service from the US would charge you around $50 to send the item to Australia.

ETSY shipping costs in last few years have sadly taken on the approach of a predatory pricing policy in line and some instances worse than eBay and the like.

Thanks for that. I do have a mail forwarding service that I occasionally use but it slipped my mind.

May I suggest you contact your local Men's Shed and ask about having it made for you. Most Sheds, like mine, accept jobs within their scope as a revenue stream.

Get it made or give it a go yourself id say, i made mine, $30 in timber from bunnings and youre sorted

and you could improve on the design, not a fan of brushes being held by the base of the knot instead of the handle

custom made for yourself

I'd suggest the broom-handle holders sold by Bunnings into which the handle "clicks" IF you get my drift - they're old-fashioned now but perfect as a brush holder!

I'm sure that would work. As would the little round lanthanide magnets you can buy (stick one to the bottom of your brush, if you can bear to). Personally, I'm happy to just stand them the "right" way up on the window-sill in a nice little friendly, furry group, and they dry out just fine. Now cue flamewar about which way up is "right"...

...but I too am in TAS. Though being halfway up my mountain in the North of the state, I reckon I get about an extra hour of daylight that most Taswegians never see...

Custom Made by Hand Bespoke High tech Universal Shave Brush Holder/Drier System for sale. Bargain at $1000, only 2 left and 1 person has one in their cart already. Don't lowball me, I know what I've got!

Dead set though, this is how I dry my brushes, every time.
Hanging in the bathroom window above the sink. Out of the way, and within easy reach still.
Like the quick disconnect? A lot of thought went into that!

You have to admit that he is not wrong. It may not look pretty but it does work.

 

[Mark1966]

You NEED a seven day rotation of brushes, otherwise they COULD remain wet ...

Very true!

Oh, so a month was overkill?..........
