I have his and hers sinks in my bathroom but I'm the only one that uses it because my wife has her I own. Rather than drilling into the tile I have a large piece of granite floor tile across the second sink and thats where i keep my soaps, brushes, post shave balms and beard oils etc. It's getting a bit full now but I have been wondering how you guys with a serious collection store or display your soaps in a way that you can remember what you have and be able to easily get to them when you want to.

Would love to see some pics of your shave dens and soap collections, if my wife sees how many soaps you have she might leave me alone when I buy more.

So where are yours pics?

I haven't got very much yet but my sickness is still quite new and it's a work in progress:

Blackbeard
Mahogany
Cognac & Cuban Cigars
Duc De Santal
Haverford
Sandalwood
Pre De Provence
Tobacco

I have Agar (Giveaway prize) and Sharp Dressed Man on the way.

Each soap has the matching post shave balm and beard oil as well as it's own wooden beard comb.

I keep my den to a minimum. Aside from a bunch of razors that are put away in rolls in a drawer, I have a seven day rotation on display. I have a few brushes stored, but only use the same one daily. I'm down to 4 soaps and will probably be down to 2 by February, and only the one that I'm using every day out on the shelf. One aftershave and one balm. Several strops in storage, but just the same one I use every day hung in the bath.

Don't think i've posted the 4" x 16" counter space that the wife so generously allowed.
Obviously not enough room for straights which are kept in the den.

I don’t have a “serious” collection, but this is “my side.”

I really like it. However, compared to my modest collection, it's deadly serious.

Coincidentally I just got this today from my beautiful bride. I posted it in another spot but this seems fitting too.

I've got over 150 razors in boxes and bags around our bedroom and closet. You can see where my straps are hanging. Haven't even had a chance to measure the drawers for foam inserts yet but I think I can get my razors in here and cups and brushes on the top, some hooks on the side for strops and stones in the larger bottom drawers along with project stuff.
Oh and the painting is one that my daughter painted for me for a birthday or something based on René Magritte's "Ceci N'est Pas Une Pipe"
