A Visit To Our Shave Den

Greetings from Gilligan & Walter!

I am lucky because I don't have to share the master bathroom with my wife. Rather, I have my own bathroom to use as my shave den. In addition, we don't have any children so my shave den is my personal sanctuary.

First off, I don't like clutter. My personal preference is to not display everything that I own. There's too much risk that items can get damaged:





My extra razors /blades are stored under the sink cabinet:



My bathroom linen closet is well organized and has bins for my soaps and creams:



My brushes are kept on a shelf in my upstairs office away from the bathroom's humidity:



So what do you think?

 

Very nice!

 

Nice organization and nice stuff.

 

Nice!

 

That's a nice den =) clean and organized. Nice gear too.

 

Neat!

 

Nice and well organized!

 

Very nice, but I only count 19 brushes. You clearly need more.

 

My thread, Our Shaving Den ( The Showcase, The Medicine Cabinent) reveals 17 current brushes. I've cycled through some brushes.

The real Maslow's Hierarchy of Human Needs has another level after self- actualization, that level is owning several shaving brushes.

 

Great-looking den!

 

I stand by my count of 19. I'm including your next 2.

 

Very nice, well organised den.

 

Great Den - I am jealous that you have your own bathroom. Years ago we moved in to help my wife's elderly parents so my wife, daughter and I all share a spare bathroom. - I am having to get creative to store my increasing shave stuff.

 

Man that is a sanctuary. I share my space with a 2 year old and a 6 month old. It's a weird smell between awesome and gross. just depends on what whiff you get. Hoping my setup changes soon. I'd love to have your sanctuary though! Congrats!

 

You have a great den! Thanks for sharing it with us.

 

Not quite sure why you feel you have to store your brushes elsewhere due to humidity? It's unlikely your bathroom stays at high humidity level for any extended duration, and even then unless the brushes remain constantly wet, I can't imagine why you feel it would negatively impact a device designed to be saturated with water? Other than that..... Super nice den. I once had my own bathroom......sigh

 

Who did you lose your shaving den to?

Your point is well taken regarding shaving brushes. My guitar room is right next to my bathroom. Because of my guitars, I keep a humidifier going all the time to remain at a constant humidity. Moreover, the only other place for my brushes would be the bathroom linen closet. I just wouldn't want to risk any potential mold issues. In all actuality, I simply enjoy displaying my brushes on my office shelf where I know they will be safe at all times.

One guy on another forum I was a member of used to keep his brushes on an over-the-toilet shelf system. Guess what happened? Someone knocked his favorite brush into the used toilet bowl. Upon retrieving his brush, the use of Barbicide wasn't even an option. Hearing stories like that, I am just so reluctant to keep all of my brushes on display in the bathroom.

 

Nice den. You can list your den in The Medicine Cabinet forum. It is for keeping a current log of your own "inventory" (soaps, creams, razors, scents, etc). Sometimes it's just kind of a pain to tell someone what you have (maybe you're working on a trade of something).

You may wish to post a link to your thread here into your signature for the benefit of others.

I have mine in my Signature: Jayaruh's Shave Den

I respect that your conscious of your brushes best interest.....swimming in the toilet bowl is not an ideal environment. LOL. I lost my den when we downsized. I had a wonderful 3rd full bath in the basement next to my den. We now have a 2 bath house and since all the kids are gone the 2nd bath absolutely must be for "guests".....its a fight I can't win.

 

Brilliant minds think alike. I beat you to it. I've posted my current inventory of stuff shortly after den photos postings. Great idea about adding it to my signature line.
