Straight Razor Themed Shower Curtains and/or Bathroom Rugs?
Anyone ever come across anything like this before? My Shave Den is gutted and getting re-modeled (.. medical reasons with lots of Grab Bars, Walk-In Shower, etc..) so I am taking the opportunity to try to locate Straight Razor Themed Accessories. Amazon and eBay searching yields a handful of Wet Shaving/Barber Themed Shower Curtains but nothing particular to SR's.
Just wondering if anyone has seen/purchased similar? Or, if there is SR Themed Material that could be used to sew an outer Shower Curtain. ??
Thanks in advance for any and all information!
Shawn

Thanked: 14Your SR theme idea is interesting-I didn't start my SR shaving journey until after I came home from two months of hospital/rehab after life saving surgery almost three years ago. I came home and needed to shave but only had cheap plastic cartridges. I decided life was too short to be using throwaway plastic so I bought several custom handled DE razors. I used those for awhile then advanced to using an Artist Club SS kamisori type shavette then finally switched to regular straights. I now have a small rotation of a few new but mostly vintage straights which I've learned to enjoy. This SR journey has brought me a new zen hobby, new skills which helped me to cope with my medical challenges. I keep records on each razor: number of shaves, when refreshed or honed & other data. In July, I'll hit 2 yrs SR shaving. It's been interesting. Good luck in your SR den rebuild

Awesome Post Rayj37! Thanks for sharing and for the luck! I am having fun with the build but SWMBO is re-enacting Veto Power on some of my design ideas. That is kinda how SR Shaving/Honing/Restoration got started for me... Used to Shoot, Collect Knives, Golf/Build Golf Clubs, Work on Classic Cars/Motorcycles and then eventually got busted up enough I was left with none of that... SR Stuff and Wet Shaving has fit the bill perfecly and still able to draw from a lot of those other skills to tweak my current skill-set! :-)
@JimmyHAD- Thank you! I usually forget to do that.

That is sweeeet! Seems it may be possible to get these custom screened or whatever the process is!? My biggest hurdle is the walk-in shower has just a narrow doorway... Variety is looking good though!
Now just gotta lean on the SWMBO's position a bit and get her to compromise... She wants Pebbles or, at least that is the best pattern I've seen suggested. But, one slip, grab and YANK will take care of that.

@Dave... Yeah, isn't it weird the details you notice... I never really thought twice about shower curtain/door sizes and such until we started this project. What about glass etching for your door? From what I remember it wasn't that big a process as there were kids who did it in middle school for Art projects. ??
