You need:
£10, a saw, a drill, a pencil and a ruler.
Bob down to your favourite DIY store and pick up a piece of strip wood, say 900x78x21 or something like and a few bags of cup hooks. The ones I got are about 20mm long (the small in B&Q).
Home, pop the kettle on and get a brew made ... DIY is thirsty work
Plan out your rack - I went with the first pair of hooks 10mm off the end and left something like 40mm after the last pair. If I didn't have cats, I would have gone with the 900mm floor to ceiling, but I do ... so went with two 450mm lengths. Perfect, as my Brian Fontana-style aftershave cabinet is 45mm in length.
Draw out the dots on the back of the wood, say 30mm apart ... remember, 10mm from the bottom for the first pair. I went 50mm apart.
Drill, drill, drill, sup, drill, sup, sup, drill, drill, drill, sup ... wipe, screw in hooks, pop a few razors on, stand back and marvel. Congratulations! You now have a razor rack.
Take the hooks back off ... you didn't screw ALL of them in, did you?
Sand, sand, sand, varnish ... job jobbed.
I just have this last job to do and I'll have a nice rack, so to speak :blush: Well, two, so a nice pair, also
14 razors per rack, which is great because I can put all my straights and a few shavettes on one and build up my 7 day sets of Durham Duplex and perhaps Weck on the other rack ... or buy more straights.
I hope this has inspired ... or at least given you a giggle. Amateur, eh :icon_rolleyes:
