It's About Time

Gentlemen,

You had asked about some photos of my modest little shaving paradise, especially of my converted pipe rack into a razor rack. Well, no way could I figure out how to post those pictures.

As you well know by now, when it comes to these computing machine thingies, I waddle along like a duck after a weekend drunk.

With Moderator Robin's (Berlin) enormous help, I have managed to post a couple of images here:

Straight Razor Place Forums - Obie's Album: Obie's Little Corner of Paradise

Oy, this is hard work.

Regards,

Obie

Obie, I know posting these things can be a pain, so here ya go sir :)

Regards,

Obie

Very nice setup, Obie!

The rack is awesome and especially nice touch.

Hi Obie,

Thats a great collection you have there..!

Now all my aquisition disorders are tingling..!

Best,

Stuart

Obie.

That looks really nice, Sir.
Looks like a very good set-up.

My dear TheBaron,

I bought the VDH combination mug, soap and brush for $7, a deal hard to miss. After using the soap once, I threw it away. The brush is used occasionally. Then I had a bright idea for the mug: I place it on top of an apothecary mug filled with hot water to keep the soap warm. It works. Currently the green mug holds a Truefitt & Hill soap.

By the way, the razors in the rack are, from right to left: 5/8" Thiers-Issards kingwood, black bone and snakewood. The fourth razor in the rack is a 6/8 Wacker Spanish point "Antik."

The razors in the cup are, from right to left: 6/8" Dovo "Renaissance," 5/8" Dovo "Perlex," Feather AC and 5/8" Boker "Edelweise." Two more new razors are on the way. It's a modest and functional collection.

The DE's are, from right to left: Edwin Jagger "barley," Cyril Salter with black ebony handle, and Edwin Jagger mock ivory. I still used them once or twice a month to keep in touch, or when I am really pressed for time.

It's a small corner of paradise, but it's mine and I am happy with it.

Regards,

Obie

I bought the VDH set for the same reason, still using it till I can afford better soap and brush.

Thanks for that idea of using the bowl on top of a warming bowl, that is a great idea, I'm gonna do the same.

I too like the rack especially.

I got to be honest. The razors and the rack are the only thing that really caught my attention...but a nice rack always catches my attention!:D
