I bought the "Deluxe Stainless Steel Safety Razor and Shaving Brush Stand from Super Safety Razors" in 2011. It says fits any standard size shaving brushes. It fit this brush fine and a Merkur HD 34C safety razor (short handle). Could easily fit a long handle too

This is not a question that I can easily answer as I would have to first go home, then measure the brush and the handle. I would think the manufacturer could more easily provide dimensions.

The handle is of universal size, so just about any stand will work with it. I specifically bought The Colonel Conk model 775 razor and brush stand (item #B001XURHNY here on Amazon) for around $20. It works great.

This is the one I ordered. Works well. Colonel Conk Classic Shave Stand Model 775 Chrome

The Colonel Conk 775 stand fits perfectly. It also matches the chrome nicely.

it's pretty standard but heavy and needs a sturdy stand. I just dry mine with a towel, shake it out and let it stand on it's own and this works well.

This brush fits the Escali Deluxe Chrome Razor & Brush Stand, but you have to be careful to insert the brush perfectly straight, or the heavy chrome handle makes the brush tip over sideways and it can fall out of the stand. It does look great with the stand, though!

It depends on the diameter of the knob (handle?) of the brush. The inside diameter of the hanger loop is 1 1/4 inches. The opening of the loop is 1 inch. I use VanDen Hagen's boar bristle brushes. The first one snagged bristles on the ends of the loop, but the knob is radiused and I could avoid snagging by angling the knob as I inserted the brush. The second brush slips in unimpeded. Clearly, the brushes are not consistent in size...not an issue for me. Is there an actual advantage to using a badger brush? Hope this helps.

That was one of my issues when I received my product. I had so many of the same ones and some of which were not indicated when I made the purchase. You would have to go on the order page and look at the picture for the description for which brush is which.

Sorry mate, impossible to tell. I don't know that brush. I did buy a white Parker brush & this stand & the Parker brush didn't fit. I then bought the complete Parker set - brush, stand & razor. The brush was black. The white Parker brush I like did not fit the Parker stand either! Beware.

For the purposes of fitting in a stand (where the bristles meet the handle): 3.25" in circumference; 1" in diameter. It is a fantastic brush. 2 years and not a single bristle missing.

I believe they mean the overall brush size. Extra Small would be like purse size. It should show you the measurements (length of the brush with handle included). If you look at the Mason Pearson website, you will see the different sizes. Small means that the handle and the bristle area are both small. Everything gets larger as the sizes go up. http://masonpearson.co.uk/why-us

I have these brushes, and the handle length varies with the brush but the entire brush/handle lengths are between 6 and 9 inches, I would estimate. You couldn't really clean something with a 90 degree bend in it, the handles are too stiff for that. Technically you could force it in, but it's not flexible enough to keep using this way without damage to the brush.

Hi HosemanFL, The end of any shaving brush will fit due to the fact that you can adjust the brush hanger more open or less open so that any brush will fit. I have several different size brushes and I change them out once a month (so that the brush hair and knot can dry more completely). It works well for me and has so far! Will Deason, Texas

I'm not sure of the longest brush that would fit, but I believe a 5 inch would fit OK. A slender, round brush may give you up to seven or so inches for your brush.

I don't have the Colonel Conk 775 stand so I don't know the answer, but the Parker brush comes with its own stand and that works just fine.

I'm using it with a Frank's Shaving silver tip badger brush which is a 22 or 23 knot. It just fits but the handle of mine has no flat right where the handle meets the bristles so the brush lays at an angle instead of standing straight, but that's the fault of the brush, not the stand. I really like the stand.

Sounds like you have a lot of hair. I would go for the bigger one (1.5). It's going to grab more in the bristles with the bigger surface area on the brush, and likely cut down on the amount of time it would take to style. I always find a bigger barrell easier to wield than a smaller one with these dryers, curling irons, etc. My hair is just past shoulders, layered, fairly thick and wavy and this works wonderfully!

Long gives you a handle that if your used to disposables helps you transition better. The guard is a small ledge on each side of the base of the head. No guard would mean the blade would sit on the counter if laid on its side. If a novice I would suggest. The long handled with guard. I just got mine few weeks back and have sensitive skin this has been a blessing compared to expensive disposables that clogged up with my coarse hair. No problem with this unit. Now I'm looking at badger brush sets n such to complement my merkur long handle with guard. The slim has a tiny handle if you have small hands may work for you. Most suggest to use long handle first. Hope I helped also join up at shaving forums alot of people have helped me get started.

I think the small 7.5" 20mm would work well for you. I have the big one but I have Newfies! Great brush, especially if they don't like to be brushed, they will let you with this one because it doesn't pull.

The width for the brush side opening is 1 1/16 inches wide. I have a large brush in it fits nicely. The but of it sticks up pass the crown of the stand. However, because I have a large razor,(Merkur Futur ) it balances out. Hope this helps.

I got the Van Der Hagen kit with the badger brush. The stand fits amd its cheap. The soap and mug are decent too. The only knock is the stand is plastic and the knot came out of the handle on the brush. Emailed the company and they replaced it. Happened again so I just glued it back and its great. Plus I now have a backup brush. I like the Lord razor as its not very aggressive. I have used it with several blades and I prefur Merkurs but thats a personal choice. Good luck
