Thread: Show us your Shave Den!

Here it is (again.) The "Shavetorium."

The Kochs barber chair came from Koske Barber Supply in Chicago during 1988. I had a client that I did an illustration for that included a barber chair. I told them I needed a real chair and they bought it for me.

The Cambell's Latherking has been in regular service now since November of 1970. All that's ever been done to it is a change of brushes from time to time and a good cleaning. The mixture is 1 gallon distilled water, a cap full of Gabel's latherizer cream, and a half tube of Musgo Real.

Behind the chair beneath the back bar is a towel warmer.

The barber bottles on the shelf are 8 ounce restaurant oil and vinager cruets. I had the knurled screw tops removed and inserted vintage Marvy stoppers. The labels are hand mede by yours truly.

The vintage lotion bottles on the upper shelf have been collected for the last 45 years.

The in-laws come here regularly for shaves and haircuts. It's my way of getting even.

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.

looks great.

That's a nice collection for not being a collector!

There's something special about having genuine vintage barbershop cabinetry in ones shop.

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 This picture is already outdated though I took it only a few weeks ago.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.
