Hi, been working on the shave den some.
Trying to organize a slowly expanding collection is fun.

Great job on the cabinets, Mike.
They look really good.
What is the window material?

Thanked: 4206Thanks for the kudos.
Both are antique finds cleaned up.
The razor case has a glass front, the brush and soap cabinet has screening on the doors with 3/8th spacing in the steel mesh. The rack I made last year, kept the plans and mean to replicate a few times. Used a kitchen magnetic knife rack on the upper shelf clad in Teflon tape to protect the razors and keep everything nice.
All my rocks are under the sink.
Works pretty well, and the smaller bathroom smells awesome with all the soaps in there..

Thanked: 498Holy Cow
To have all that real estate would be a real joy. My shoebox of a bathroom would never allow for such an endeavor.
You are a lucky man. Enjoy!!!
By the way, love the wallpaper.

What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one

Thanked: 4206Thanks Tarkus.
That paper is original to the house so is already over 30, and was the first room my wife wanted me to redo. For some reason I kept choosing other projects as it just kind of spoke to me. 5 years later I started shaving with a straight, 2 more years after that and I'm building the room into a shaving shrine with that same paper as the backdrop..must have been subliminally channelling old world mojo into my soul.
Next will be, if I can find it, an old beam countertop and basin cabinet complete with leaded glass mirror.. Might need to do a few trips to St Jacobs, or have a few drinks with HarryWally and talk mitre joints this winter..
A friend at work has a vintage barbers chair and early 1900s barber pole I'm trying to wrangle even though I have no idea where to put them,, yet..
