Parts cost about $10. Columns consist of 1/2 and 3/4 inch pipe (depending on needed length and diameter of handle). Slot cut on top of column (using Dremel) to accomodate straight razor. The one I made is glued, but you could use threaded pvc parts for ability to disassemble, rearrange and further customize. Drainage holes can be made on base, if desired. Can also be painted for finished look.
