Description
This organizer stand lets you hold up to 4 safety razors, a shaving brush, a shaving bowl, and 4 dice to indicate how many shaves each razor blade has been used for. If you're like me, I like to experiment with different razors and wanted several of my razors available and not using up space in a drawer. So I made this stand. It's also specifically designed to use the “Large” version of RogerQuin's shaving bowl:

The model will fit on a standard 235mm x 235mm print bed (Ender 3 and similar).
The brush holder is designed for brushes that are on the larger side, the opening is 35mm across. There are some brushes that are too small for this holder. If enough people want it, I can make one with a smaller brush holder. Or, if you want, the FreeCAD model is included in the files, you can adjust it with the spreadsheet included in the file. If you do this, I recommend you remove all of the fillets first, adjust the model, and then re-do the fillets. The model will probably break if you try to adjust the spreadsheet before removing the fillets, this is an idiosyncrasy of FreeCAD.
The dice are used to keep track of how many shaves you've used each razor blade for. I typically get 3-4 shaves out of a blade, each shave I turn the dice for that razor to the next number. Once it reaches 4 I know I need to change the blade. You can use any dice, I picked these because I liked the color:

The model should lie on the print bed flat on it's back, the STL should load into your slicer with the model already in this position. It is recommended to use a textured print surface to make sure the model does not warp off the print bed during printing. If you have issues with this, you may need to use a brim or slightly increase your bed temperature.
