I'm looking at all the pictures posted by the gang here. Every one of the dens are as orderly and clean as an operating room. So why to the ladies always accuse us of being messy? I will not display pictures of the women's room at my house.

Thank you for the photos of the great corner of history. One place I worked, the lead illustrator / designer had a really well upholstered and padded barber chair as his work chair. Worked for him in his "U" shaped space with drawing board tops that slid in and out at will with the supplies in moving cabinets above. I always wanted to duplicate the set-up!
Thank you again!

Wow! Some really impressive dens in the thread.

Here is my little/starter den (software is all in a med cabinet). I've been wet shaving for about 6 months, about to make the jump to straights (have my first 2 on order). This picture is already outdated though I took it only a few weeks ago.

Lot of great pics are helping shape my ideas for the inevitable expansion of my den.

So we did a refurb out at my little cabin. And although we still haven't got it all sqeezed into the cabin, we've utilised a little of the spare space that's convenient...I give you my new shave den!











Photo's were taken before bringing over the wash tin containing my Gotta, shave brush and tube cream from the cabin...

This just screams "ManCave". Good job! I like the pallet boards. They make this shave den just seem real.

I love the Aussie idea of "indoor plumbing"!

Yeah but that's only a "lite finish", so you don't won't to be to dirty for the shower. My wash basin and shave kit has been posted elsewhere on the forum in a shave of the day I think. Haven't got time to lookfor it just now. Just a big tin basin sat on a wooden stool for a bench. The stool mid bottom of the second picture in fact.

Well Mick,

from what I can see you are a kind of man that don't need luxuriousness.

Well I don't know about that bushdoctor. That shower runs hot water you know. We have a thermostat on it and everything. That little white thing top left of the second picture. Turn it on and set a pre heat and the running temp of the water...Mind it does get a little draughty in the 'den' though. Depending on the prevailing breezes. And since I've got the time right now, here is what my shave den used to look like out there...

Very nice place,you have a magnificent view but outdoor in Aussie there are too many dangerous animals, I'm thinking snakes,spiders and all kind of poisonous animals that you have there in your wild land. Anyway I like your den and so I use something like your but only not outdoor, usually on Sunday I like use that, which is placed in my bedroom.
And I so have view like your, from my window, because I live in the country like you.
