    Lightbulb The "Shave Den Parade"

    Straights, brushes, mugs, creams, colognes, after shaves, strops, balms... Where do you store all that equipment?
    Some devoted straight shavers already posted pics of their beautiful Shave Den's, but there must be tons more out there.
    What are your solutions for storing your shaving equipment? Got any neat tips & tricks to share?

    Show us your Shave Den, razor display, strop hanger in the "Shave Den Parade"

    OK, OK, I admit I'm still working on mine, and am looking for some inspiration aswell. I will post my pics asap when its finished...

    I store my razors in a silverware box, and keep them in my bedroom away from water and visiting nieces. The items in the display cases have been moved, used and rearranged, in other words, these are old photos, but the locations are the same.




    I have a cabinet in the bath where I store the things I use the most: brushes, soap(s) and cream(s), mugs & scuttles aftershave, balms and hair tonic. I have added 2 cup hooks on the bottom of the cabinet to hang the strops when I'm not using them. I do have a hook on the sink to hang the strop when using it.




    I have a shelf in my bedroom where I keep the "overflow" , the stuff I don't use that often: mugs, brushes, and aftershave.

    Thanks Freebird for sharing you're Shave Den with us.

    The pictures tell that you like shaving mugs a lot, you've got quite few.

    I've been thinking about the safety issue as well. Although I haven't got children myself (yet) and don't have family and friends with
    jumping, playing, screaming and nosy children it's not to big of an issue at the moment. But this is like to change any time soon.

    My initial plan was to build a 3 shelf cabinet, like yours in the last picture and put my straights in the lower compartment.
    Last week I decided to adjust my design put the razor in the middle section security reasons.

    I'd like to hang my Shave Den in the bathroom of my future house (I now shave in the kitchen, where there is less humidity).
    Will my straights be safe enough and survive when I grease/oil them before putting the back in the Shave Den?


    Now SRP-ers, let's see those other Shave Den pictures?

    Oh yes, I like Mugs, razors, soap, cremes brushes and shaving mirrors. (If anyone has found a cure for this, don't tell me what it is)

    I'm not sure about the humidity. Maybe someone with a little more experience thhan I have will answer that question. I believe, if I were going to leave my box of razors in the bath, I would look into a humidifier/dehumidifier. I know they make them for guitars. I coat my "kids" with a light coat of baby oil before I tuck them into their little box.
