This product looks even better in person. I was going for an industrial look but hesitated to buy it because I was worried it might look too plain for the price. I’ve bought several holders over the years, usually in the $15-20 range, so I was hesitant to spend around $50 on this one. But I’m really glad I took the risk. It met and exceeded my expectations.
This holder is built to last. It’s sturdier than all the others I’ve owned, and the only one made of stainless steel. It’s well-designed and minimalist. While it does have an industrial look, the slight curves and angles keep it from looking like just a sheet of metal with holes in it. It has four rubber feet and is nice and wide, so it’s much less likely to tip over if bumped. The wide base also makes it easier and quicker to clean compared to typical wire holders.
Despite its wide base, it has a low profile because the razor sits behind the brush. This unique design is a matter of preference, but I really like it. It doesn’t take up much space and highlights the beauty of the brush. The razor in the back is possibly safer for visitors, and if I want to show it off, I can just turn it to the side.
Most importantly, it does its job well. I’ve tested it with all my largest razors, and they all fit. My largest, the Timeless handle (Length: 100 mm, Diameter: 14 mm), touches the bottom but fits nicely. It can easily hold larger models like my Futur and my r41 stainless. Brush-wise, it holds my Chubby 2 with some room to spare and looks great. So I haven’t tried the Chubby 3 yet, but I’m confident it will fit as advertised.
Don’t hesitate to get this one. You won’t be disappointed. I also want to thank Shave Nation for their timely shipping, accuracy, and personalized touch. They even threw in some swag, which I’ve already put to good use. Thanks!
