Craigslist Finds

I keep checking (in vain) for shaving paraphernalia in the local Craigslist. I did run across this shaving stand which even comes with a strop. If I buy this, do you think it would fit in a dog house?

 

Wow, that's really cool!

 

It all depends on how much they want for it.

Asking $250

 

Very cool. Does it go with the wife's decor? If not, get a very big dog house.

 

What kind of dog do you have? Irish Wolfhound? It might fit.

 

Roll the dice & see what happens.

 

Therin lies the problem. I have a 5lb Papillon

 

If it does not fit the dog house you have an excuse to buy a bigger dog house. I love those stands wish I had one.

 

It might not fit...but it could make a nice accent piece to the outside of the lil guys dog house

 

Quaint...but after a few shaves using it...and having to manually fill and empty the basin each time...the novelty would wear thin.

I've seen a few of these at antique shops and most are ideal (basin and mirror height) for someone 5'7" or shorter.

 

Thanks for the reality check, Kevin . Besides I'm to sloppy at the sink for that to work

 

My wife loved the look of those pieces (as do I) but in real world application, my back started hurting just thinking about constantly lifting that heavy water-filled basin.

 

I feel that

I love vintage wet shaving, but it must include running water!

 

When I had a small office warehouse, that's almost EXACTLY how I shaved. I had a large Corelle bowl that I put in the microwave for heating water, dipped a washcloth, wet the face, soaped up, and shaved, rinsing out in the bowl. I then rinsed my face with cold water.

It's not as big of a hassle as you think.

 

Very cool; did you show the wife? Maybe she'll like it too.

 

Show your wife, then don't buy it. Then you can buy more straights.

 

Pure genius!!!
