    Maybe you have a place in your den where you keep your best gear, or the gear you use most frequently. Could be only razors or brushes, perhaps your favorite combination.
    Here's my current top shelf of brushes and some EdTs... razors are on the shelf below.
    ...be seeing you.

    I'll have to "arrange" a top-shelf to share with you all. (My stuff is all over :angelic007: )

    WP_20151212_001.jpg Look carefully, the very top shelf is reserved for my Williams Mug Shaving Soap. This is so I don't inadvertently grab it by mistake:)

    I agree. I'm really getting into some of the top of the line gear. At some point I'll have to thin the herd, but in the meantime I'm enjoying some great products.

    Looks like the 'top shelf' dominated by Old Spice. Nice rack...

    That gets filed under 'gear I use frequently.' The expensive and fancy stuff gets rotated through spots on the countertop. The Old Spice is a staple no one should ever be without.

    I've thought about trying to buy it in bulk. I wonder how much a 55 gallon drum would go for.

    Happy New Year, and great shaves everyone!

    You have some really pretty shave stuff @Number six. That blue and white pearled brush and that razor that appears to be highly sculpted in the handle and machined billet head are my favorites of your stuff.

    Amended top shelf. Not pictured top shelf brushes: The Varlet Orion, M&F 3/2, Plisson EW 12...
    I don't expect too many changes now that I'm in No Buy mode. This could last a lifetime though.

    I did, thank you! That's a bad photo, but it is a very beautifully grained walnut. I also turned a matching lather bowl to go along with it.

    I like the way those DE's are cocked at an angle - ready for action.

    Yes I am. I can't compete with that.
