    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?

    My "shave den" is in a state of disrepair and we are currently performing a remodel.

    I do however, have found a pretty good storage display for the razors that i can display (some still need some cleaning up and a little TLC). I just need to decide where...

    BTW This case has two locks, keeping prying fingers away.

    Here is picture of the my future Shave Den in a premature phase. I still have to figure out a suitable solution to display the straights.
    The brushes will be on the support in the lower compartment and the mug will be just underneath.

    I planned to use various materials like acrylic, colored glass and mirrors to decorate the Den.

    But as you can see there's still a lot of work to be done.

    To be continued...
