Frequent Questions
Which razors fit this stand?
It's designed for the Chrome Safety Razor, with a finish matched to the handle so the two sit together as one piece.
Why should I store my razor on a stand?
Kept upright, a razor drains and dries out completely between shaves, and an edge that dries fully keeps its sharpness for longer, so fewer blades get used over time.
What is the stand made from?
Chrome-plated zinc alloy, shaped to hold the razor upright on a countertop.
Among the Kronos shaving stands, this one is finish-matched to the Chrome Safety Razor: chrome-plated, built to hold the razor upright so the head drains and the edge dries fully between shaves, instead of sitting wet until the next one.
Each stand is finish-matched to one razor, so a chrome stand suits the Chrome Safety Razor and would look mismatched paired with a bamboo or rose gold handle. It is chrome-plated to match that razor's own finish, so the two sit together on a shelf as a matched pair, rather than one bought loose and the other left to fend for itself.
A blade left wet in a damp head keeps working on itself between shaves; a dry one does not. Standing the razor upright lets water run off the head, which is the difference between a blade lasting a handful of shaves and one lasting more, since a wet edge dulls faster than a dry one left to drain properly.
Kept upright and visible alongside a shaving brush, the razor becomes something left out on display, matching a design meant to be seen. Water from the last rinse drains clear off the surface, so the stand earns its place every morning the razor is used.
