The Admiral Razor and Brush Stand, Extra Wide Openings, Heavy & Raw Stainless Steel

stands shaving stuff to dry and looks like it does on the box. poor local delivery with Aramex, damaged box and but the steel was easily bent back to looking okay

Holds my brush and shaving handle really well. The base has a nice finish.

When I first came back to wet shaving, one of the most needed items, as part of my initial setup, was a razor and brush stand. After all, the shaving brush needs to hang inverted in order to dry out its bristles and hairs. The razor needs to be up and off the bathroom counter (or sink) so you don't accidentally drop it or knock it to the floor. So, I purchased a standard razor and brush stand. Now, I’m not belittling that stand. It served its purpose. It was nicely chrome plated and provided some utility, although limited. But, in the long run, I could tell that it was lacking just a bit. To begin with, the base was hollowed out and a thick piece of foam was inserted. This gave the impression that is was solid, when it was not. It also had a very bland, common industrial look. Appearances aside, more annoying was its lack of versatility in securely storing various sizes of brushes and razors. As my interest in wet shaving grew and I collected more and different razors and brushes, the stand just wasn't up to the task of handling those new items. Some brushes didn’t fit and other razors had to be suspended upside down. The Admiral Razor and Brush Stand by Vikings Blade solved this problem! It’s extra wide holder openings accommodate more brushes and razors than the average razor and brush stand. Hurrah! Finally! My Merkur Futur Adjustable Razor can hang right-side up! My Vintage Single-Edge Gem MicroMatic Safety Razors now hang securely without needing to be slightly kicked left or right (due to the angled razor head). My Art of Shaving Badger Brush, with its slightly larger diameter handle, fits! (With the other stand, it simply did not fit at all!) Best of all, my Vikings Blade razors and brushes fit beautifully and look truly distinguished! The Admiral is quite handsome! It has an elegant yet manly look while offering classic scandinavian minimalism. The Admiral is solid! No hollowed out base here! Made from Stainless Steel and Brass, it has a great deal of heft and sits on your counter with an anchored authority. The engraving around the outer diameter of the base plate offers additional refinement, along with an appealing, subtle brushing of the stainless steel. The brass offers just enough exquisite highlight. Its stature has a dignity that says, “Here is someone who practices the manly art of the traditional wet shave.” The Admiral is practical in its function. It does it’s job as a razor and brush stand very well! The Admiral is solid, sturdy, elegant (yet very masculine), and built to last a lifetime. The Admiral quickly found a favored place in my shaving den. It’s yet another Vikings Blade tool that makes me look forward to my morning shave. Just having The Admiral as my preferred razor and brush stand caused me to become a bit reflective. You see, not only is the practice of wet shaving handed down from father to son, but the tools that are used are inherited by succeeding generations. The Admiral is indeed a high quality, well made wet shaving tool that will last many, many years! I can’t help but think that, when I look at The Admiral Razor and Brush Stand, how it will most assuredly be handed down from father to son...then grandson...then great grandson.

Good quality

Me gustó mucho este soporte ya que se adapta a cualquier tamaño de rastrillo de seguridad. Yo lo uso para el Merkur Future y el Mühle R89 sin problemas. ¡Las brochas también se ajustan muy bien! Además de estético tiene y material durable y un peso que ofrece estabilidad en la superficie, ¡lo recomiendo!
