Show us your shaving salon... ok, bathroom

[Arrowhead]

No, I'm sorted for the time being, thanks.

To the other Jon (smartidog), the thing about straights is that once you've got a handful, they start to breed. It's the damnedest thing.

^^ I agree, both Konstantinos and Steve're horders and should really get some kind of intervention ...

Whereas you are entirely normal .

Yes.

I forgot some lose ends too... A couple of straights and lose bits and the big IKEA bag is mostly empty straight boxes, but it has some of my DE blade stash and other good to have things in the bottom (and paddles).

Thank you guys. Now, every time I bring home a new shaving related item and she rolls her eyes, I can show her these pics.

Seriously though, some impressive collections here. I would love to have so much to chose from each time I shave.

Mikael brought more in his luggage to London than i have in total...

Seriously though, some impressive collections here. I would love to have so much to chose from each time I shave.

To me the choice would be just overwhelming. I don't know how those guys decide what to use. I have three straights, five brushes and a handful of soaps/creams and aftershaves to choose from. That must be at least 500 permutations. I've owned quite a lot more than that but have traded, PIFed or sold items to keep my stash to a manageable size.

 

[Mikael]

Well, for some it's the shave that's the hobby, for some the scents and so on ... and for some the collecting is part of it

 

[GOLDCREST]

I'm beginning to feel deprived

 

[missingskin]

I only have a couple of razors and the odd soap/brush...........not really worth posting...........I don't suffer from any shaving additions at all......:angel:

 

[monkeytennis]

Well, I thought I would share my modest setup now its grown alittle....
I only have one small shelf in the bathroom for my current use things

The wooden bowl has my wool fat in it and the brush is my tubby 1

I also have a small box under the sink with my alum block and spare soap

My razor store is in the bedroom

Close up of the razors:

So we have left to right a 1912 SE, Ball ended tech, open comb unknown, flair tip rocket, a slim adjustable, a fatboy. In front is a rolls razor.

The draw has my blades and a small travel razor

Nice little collection Monkey and very well organised.
regards, beejay

 

[monkeytennis]

I like to try and keep things in some order! The auto strop case I use for my blades I only got today, but think it looks alot better than just having the blade box's all jumbled up!

 

[FrenchBlade]

Now K, Steve, Mikael have posted, I feel very normal...

I'll take some pics tomorrow, but my software stack is a lot less than most of you here, I thinned it out not long ago!
(hardware is a different story though...)

Wondered why Max was hiding...

Hi . To tennis-monkey. very nice. The stand that you use for your razors- was that something that you made or was it designed originally like that? It's a great idea.

 

[monkeytennis]

It was a pipe rack I brought of ebay.seemed to fit the bill perfectly!!

 

[Johnus]

That' a fantastic idea. Been looking at the local hardware store but haven't found anything that I would want to keep out . Never thought of a pipe holder. Well done.
