    Default Post pics or vids of your shaving station set ups

    I thought it would be helpful and interesting to see how everyone has their shaving station set up. Rather it be where we hook up our strops or where we store our razors and brushes. 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.

    Just the shave end of the room. Magnets under the shelf to hold straights by their tails.

    Not super elaborate, but here is my 'system' (if you care to call it that).

    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.

    I started with many options and rotated daily...can I offer some advice? Do NOT do it that way. Pick one razor, one cream/soap, one strop, and one after shave balm/splash/lotion.

    By reducing variables and keeping all your gear consistent, you will learn much faster

    Thanks for the advice that's what I was initially thinking want to make sure straight shaving is right for me but so far I'm loving it! Besides the great shave one gets I like everything else that goes along with it.
