It's not a "medicine" cabinet

    So that above was over in another thread. Quick recap: I removed my rusty 60 year old medicine cabinet and replaced it with a commercial / industrial stainless steel mirror with shelf, like you would find in a gas station bathroom. Looks awesome and perfectly covered up the old medicine cabinet hole.

    Then I realized I have this big other empty spot on the far wall to the right in my bathroom. Insert evil grin here. Perfect spot for a new medicine cabinet. Err, I mean, a new shaving cabinet!

    @IAmTheJody Are those all Bob's Razor Works Bull Mastiff handles on the bottom row or were they the ones from ShaveABuck on a Pearl branded razor IIRC?

    Either way, nice stash.

    Only one of those handles is a Bob's Bull Mastiff XL he made for me in 2010. It's mated to 1930s British Gillette "The New" head pieces.

    All of the others, except one, look like his handle but they are BOSS Razors I purchased off of Amazon just for the handles. Tossed the BOSS head pieces in the trash. Very nice, heavy handles like Bob's, a tad shorter. They don't have the magnet in the end like Bob's but the ends do screw off like Bob's. Definitely worth the $14 just for the handles alone. Amazon link:

    The "except one" handle is Perfecto Razors, also on Amazon. I liked it because of the vintage Gillette Aristocrat bell/flared end on it. Again, tossed the head pieces in the trash. $12 for it. It's a very light handle. I've only used it once so I still haven't decided whether or not I like it. Amazon link:

    I have a BRW and two Boss handles. I agree the Boss handles are quite good for the price.

    You should have pif’d the heads to the newbies or the tsd raffle.

    Nah. The heads aren't good quality. Their quality doesn't match the handles they put them on. Plus a newbie would have to find their own handle?

    Definitely! In fact I just looked at them and it said there were only eight left in stock so I went ahead and bought another one just now in case y'all make a run on them since I linked. lol

    I had a couple from Bob. I still have and use the Improved handle on the left. My basic Bull Mastiff didn't have the vertical stripes or the magnet. Nice handles though.
