This SOTD is more about my recently completed Shave Den than it is the rest of the Gear... So, I backed up the Pic a bit and will include more details below:

Pre: H2O
Brush: Pen Works Butterscotch Handle sporting a 20mm Silvertip Standard TGN Knot.
Scuttle: Found my Wife's HS Pottery Class 'Seconds'... Not sure what this was supposed to be but it rocks as an Open Scuttle.
Lather: LA Shaving 'Topanga Fougere'... Small Round Sample... Enough for one more round after today/3 total. Time to order!
Head Shave: Merkur Progress Long-Handle w/Astra Blade set at 2.5.
Face Shave: Greaves Survivor Full Wedge in Horn Scales 7/8".
Post After Shave: Pinaud Clubman.
Beard Oil: My Own Mix of 'Lavender Lime'.

Shave Den Features: Moen rotating faucet that gets out of the way to avoid SR collisions... 5 Drop Light over Linen White Paint allows LOTS of light so no shaving in shadows anymore... Lighted 2x/10x Extendable Mirror- 2x is awesome and haven't found a use for the 10x but, if you wanted to shave just one hair at a time, this would be the thing to use... Mirror with the Squares around the perimeter matches the Inset medicine Cabinet on the opposing wall and they were the Manliest Lookin' mirrors I could find and they look great... Vanity is taller and shallowly set allowing me to get closer to the mirror without feeling like I'm trying to dive into the sink while shaving... Sink itself is high and wide allowing much improved ease of 'splashing' for my height.

Blade: B. Terzano, Campobasso 4/8
Brush: TGN Grade-A 26/50
Suds: L'Occitane Cade Shaving Soap
ASC: O Boticário Quasar



Good Day Gents!!

That is one NICE shave-den! The swinging faucet is truly the way to go.
Very nice!
