Well I've successfully commandeered a shelf in the bathroom. Previously it housed a couple of picture frames, a candle and some other tchotchke's. First I put my Fat Boy up there, after I caught my wife just throw it in a drawer, removing it from the counter. Next, I took my old spice mug out of the medicine cabinet and put it up there. I then spread out all of my wifes stuff on that medicine cabinet shelf and told her she deserved more space for all of her femine items . I said I keep the razor on the shelf because, laugh at me or not, I like it. I think, after she laughed, that she got I was not kidding. Now, the total removal of all the junk and the transformation to MY official shave den/shelf happend over about a month, item by item. It's no haven, but a dedicated space in the bathroom that's mine. With one main bath upstairs, a wife and 2 kids, I'll take it!
Your ShaveSelf looks "GREAT"!! Your shaving stuff looks "SO" much nicer than picture frames or a candle.. Now "over time of course" you can add a couple more shelves or a nice little cabinet, like a spice rack kind of affair.. Any space that is dedicated to just your stuff is definitely a haven!!!!
I like how you got your Significant Other to accept the shelf as yours. You devious man you! Nice shelf BTW!
Nice self you have there. I'd love to have something as simple as that. You don't have it bad. I still keep most of my stuff in my bedroom.
Hey thanks everyone. I'm hoping the limited space may curb my RAD With the razor assortment, mixed badger, silver tip badger and synthetic silver tip (all Col. Conk BTW) I'm feeling pretty set on hardware (for now). The assorment of blades, soaps, creams and pre shave oils resides in a rubber maid bin in the linen closet where they'll likely remain.
Thanks Drew, after searching in antique stores to no avail for what seemed like forever (2 months) I bought it off the bay. It was listed as a "gold Fat Boy" in good condition currently at $54 with 2 minutes to go when I first saw it. I bid $65 thinking I'd drive up the bid and see what it would go for with my wife over my shoulder...She wasn't too thrilled when I won it for $62! Frankly, I was very concerned as well, I hadn't really even read the description or looked at the pics. When it arrived it looked like NOS w/a D3 date code! I got really lucky! I must say, BTW, nice avatar , check sig...
BTW, No 1 is full of blades, No 3 canister is full of puck soaps and creams! The razor in the middle my dad just gave me. Said he found it laying around, it was my grandpops. No date code, just made in the USA and Gillette. It's an open comb. Any ideas to identify it appreciated!
