Taconic Shave"Rocket Style" Safety Razor and Shaving Brush Stand

Needed tightened to the base when I got it, no drama since its threaded. Looks great and holds everything nicely.

If you're looking for a razor stand, this is the one to buy. It's very solid and made of stainless steel. Chrome plated steel razor stands will rust. I bought the Colonel Conk Classic Shave Stand 775 Chrome about a year ago and it started to rust after about nine months. The Colonel Conk razor stand and all others of that style have a stamped sheet metal base with an iron weight which is extremely prone to rust. Once the rust starts it can't be halted. The Colonel Conk razor stand ended up in the trash. This Deluxe "Modern" Stainless Steel Safety Razor stand looks better than the pictures. The pictures don't do it justice. The base is solid stainless steel and very heavy. If you're in the market for a safety razor and shaving brush stand, I don't think you'll be disappointed with this high quality solid stainless steel safety razor and shaving brush stand.UPDATE: I've added a picture after one year in humid bathroom service. There is no hint of rust. This razor stand looks as good today as when it was delivered. This is the best razor stand you can buy on Amazon.com.Avoid any razor stand that isn't 100% stainless steel construction. If the item description isn't clear about all the materials, don't buy it.I highly recommend this safety razor stand, because it's not likely to rust, it's very high quality, and it's a very elegant design.This stand would be more versatile if it had a double brush, two wide slot holder, then it would be fully compatible with the Merkur Futur. Perhaps the seller could offer this as an option.

I bought this stand because it is solid stainless instead of chrome plated mystery metal. (Or plastic)Cons: It's not the best finished thing in the world. There are burrs in the joint. The bottom is not finished. Could use some rubber on the bottom. There are very subtle grind marks that the polish did not perfectly remove. The arms needed very minor straightening to be perfect.I consider those things acceptable since stainless steel is a much more expensive material. Overall, it looks quite good unless you inspect it really closely.Pros: It's nice and heavy. Quite stable. Seems plenty sturdy. It's a good size in that the arms don't overhang unnecessarily far. I also really like the style. It's maybe just a touch of a retro-future streamline moderne sort of thing. And, it won't rust and there is no plating to corrode off. So this should last me the rest of my life, in theory.Worth the few extra bucks over the junky stands. I'm satisfied.

I like Parker Shaving Brushes. Unfortunately the handle of Parker Brushes is too large in diameter to fit in most of the brush holders I have tried or seen advertised. Here is the exception! This razor and brush stand will hold Parker Shaving Brushes by the handle "waist" very nicely. However the Parker extra large shaving brushes are still too big for even this stand. There is enough material in the bracket used to hold the brush that a little "dremel" action to remove a small amount material on the inside of the bracket is all that is needed to fix the problem if you like the extra large handled brushes (like I do). Since this is solid stainless steel it is no problem, and they seem to hold up well in the humid bathroom environment with no visible corrosion or discoloration.Base is heavy enough to be stable with just a wet brush on the stand.Anticipate years of use.Also acquired these stands for my adult sons who have recently discovered wet shaving.

I'm pretty happy with this holder. I use a Gillette Fusion5 razor and a Art of Shaving badger hair brush, and both fit very nicely.The surface finish is "shiny", so it tends to get water spots on it. I'd prefer a more matte finish, like a brushed nickel. But it works well and looks nice overall.

Great stand and a great value. My Art of Shaving brush and razor (Gillette Fusion) fit perfectly. I cannot speak to it's durability over time, but out of the box, it's exactly what I was looking for. As another reviewer said, it looks much better in person than it does in the photo. Lastly, there is no felt on the bottom, which is present on some of the other stands in the price range. Its not a deal breaker, but it would've been a nice feature.

This is a simple, functional product. The fact that it is made of CRS (corrosion resistant steel) means no rust and it is heavy enough that I need not fear it will tip over. My Simpsons Colonel X2L Best Badger Shaving Brush fits perfectly in the smaller size opening and my Gillette adjustable razor fits perfectly in the larger size opening. It easily wipes clean but should I ever feel the need I can throw it in my automatic dishwasher and clean it that way.

I use it to hold 2 safety razors. I have bought a different style razor holder but the stainless steel rusted. This holder so far has not rusted.

I previously bought another version of this from another seller and the tongue parts are too shallow these are deep and hold the razor better.
