Abstract: A planar plate or block has extending support bristles into which the teeth of a comb or the bristles of a hairbrush may be inserted at random positions or orientations. The bristles are arranged in a tightly packed relationship so as to augment the compressive force on an object slipped between them. Also the support bristles are preferably formed flexible material with a high coefficient of friction so as to provide a high frictional support force. The bristle support plate is detachably mounted upon another plate which is suitable for mounting on nearly any flat external surface such as a wall or the bottom of a drawer.
