Not so fast! I didn't want to be a source of jealousy, envy and unfulfilled desire, but you all have forced my hand--so reap the whirlwind!

My shave/toiletries den
My wife and I split the cabinet 50/50: I get the bottom shelf, and the left half of the middle; she gets the top shelf and the right half of the middle (and the counter (both of them) and the drawers, and cabinets under the counter (both of them) and the other wall cabinet)--which seems reasonable to me
Bottom shelf: 3 soaps, 3 aftershave, Frost drops, and Walmart Noxzema knock-off .
Middle shelf: shave balm, deodorant, styptic pencil, 2 razors, blades, Shave Secret, 2 lip balms, and a piece of cloth for skin-stretching.
All items are stored at a slight angle, not for aesthetic enhancement, but rather to take up all allotted available space (use it or lose it is the unspoken mantra here, and you can see The Missus' tubes of lotion and whatnot slowly pushing my poor gear further and further left).
The cabinet, however, is not my entire universe. I have a shampoo bar and Christmas Eve (as my shower soap) in the shower, a toothbrush and tooth powder in a corner on the counter, and a Parker Variant buried somewhere in my sock drawer. *drops mic*
But if I'm being completely honest, I'm not really interested in expanding the den. I'll probably try other razors to replace ones I have, but I'm still aiming at having just a daily driver and a travel razor. I'll continue to buy samples rather than full pucks so I can try more soaps, but I don't want to keep track of more than 3. I don't mind trying out different aftershaves, but again, 3 at a time is my max.
I
do, however, really enjoy learning about the fantastic gear you all share, and your posts are a form of window shopping for me, which is something I have always liked doing
