Thread: Bathroom Storage Options

Blade Wielder posted this picture of how he organizes his stuff in his bathroom (antique cabinet).



Just wondering what other great ideas people have for organizing all their straight razors and accesories in the bathroom.

Sorry couldnt help it

yeah, but she's given you a gilt-edged certificat for a nice mahogany shaving cabinet. :-)

In the bathroom, we have a three-shelf wire-rack affair that stands over the toilet. My wife can't reach the top shelf, so it's mine. That's where I keep my shaving bowl, brush, and soap cakes. I also hang a pair of washcloths there, one as a hot towel and the other for drying my blades after use. To one side is my travelling toiletry bag.

Razors, Norton stone, and dropper-bottle of rubbing alcohol sit on my dresser in the bedroom, with the strop hanging alongside. In the morning, I choose a razor and grab the strop and head to the bathroom. I like having this surface for my "guy stuff": shaving things, shoe-horn, and wallet/watch/knife when I'm not carrying those things.

If ever I collect a good deal of more gear, then a nice-looking wall cabinet will be the way to go; except I'll hang it in the bedroom to keep the humidity low.

My wife built me an antique style wash stand. The base is from an ancient sewing machine, so it's sturdy wrought iron. It looks quite nice. Wooden top with a hole cut in for the metal wash basin. Towel rack on the back, with hand stitched barber poles on each towel. Barber pole up the middle of the back with an extending mirror mounted to it. The base still has the three drawers from the sewing machine setup, so storage is easy. The great thing about it is that I can set it up in the living room if I want to. Just add hot water and you're ready to go. Now all I have to do is clean up my barber chair so I can sit while I shave.

Lets see some pics !!

LOL I don't have any pics either but I just put my razors in my dresser drawer, paddle strop hanging from my drawer handle, and creams and such under the sink in the bathroom. Nothing fancy

sheesh and I get excited when my wife cooks....what does yours do in her free time renovate the house???

1. Shavethebadger's wife is awesome.
2. I'd love to see pictures (hey, I mean, of the shaving setup; don't let's start with competing wife-pix again!!).

I have a gerstner chest near my sink and a small vintage wood box for the overflow razors. I keep my brushes, aftershaves and mugs on and around the chest. Of course now my overflow box has overflown again so I'm anxiously awaiting a new box Vlad is building for me which will go on top of the gerstner chest. The extra soaps and aftershaves and hones and other paraphanelia go under the sink out of sight.
