Thats just the box. I have a henkles and it was my first razor. I got it at an antique fair. I sent it off to lynn for honing and it shaves like a champ.

Here's my setup, space is limited so I've tried to conserve. To the right is my shave cabinet, holds my rotation, soap, brushes and aftershaves. At the sink is my scuttle and razor, and in the background my hanging strop. Sweet and simple, works for me.

This may give members unique helpful ideas and solutions. Here is mine I have a small bathroom where storage is premium so I put up this cabinet where I store my razor brush and soaps. I stuck a plastic hook to the side of the medicine cabinet/mirror so I could hang my strops. Finally I use the door lock itself to hook up and do my stroping it's sturdy and has good height.

That setup is beautiful!!! I am envious to be honest. We have to remember not to store brushes in closed spaces....especially after a shave!!! just wanted to remind you so your brush will live as long as it can I have never done a shave den photo so i will upload one asap.

My top dresser drawer holds several loupes, about a dozen straights, a few spare soaps, and some of my honing equipment. The clever eye will note the strops hanging from the storage hook at the left rear of the dresser.

Turning slightly to the left, we look into my cluttered shavatorium. (I did nothing to prep for these other than to open the drawer and start snapping).

Getting a bit closer so you can look at the bunch of stuff I rotate through.

Taking a hard left from the last photo is the towel rack that I used some pink para cord to attach my ring for hanging the strops.

thanks mate just rememberd.

use a shoelace and a boxnot and you can hang strop.


or if strop just has an o ring on end you can build boxknot around it

(made a boxknot as a toy for cat)

Thanks and yes I'm always conscious about storing them in that cabinet but rest assure I do razor in its box and if I get lazy I make sure they are both air dried completely before I store them not too humid here in Chicago so so far so good!

Its simple, but i like it. And the wife can't complain

Hey works just fine you have everything you need there.

And this is where i keep my my hone and the other 3 straights in my rotation. The glass bottle on the sink was a gift from the wife for Christmas i just fill it with some AV soon it will be filled with home made bay rum.

Spacemonkey how in the world do you make homemade bay rum do you have a link or some information this would be fun to attempt thanks
