    Default New Acquisition: Shelf space in a tiny Bavarian bathroom!

    So, despite having an obscenely large flat, my girlfriend's apartment, in which I live (my own place is a 40 mile commute to work daily, while hers is only 2), has the tiniest bathroom in the history of bathrooms. There is no space. She used to have a female roommate and I just don't know how they did it. It's a study in terrible feng shui. As you can see below, I didn't get the full window ledge, but I'm migrating that clutter to another shelf and will eventually take over that whole nook.

    In any case, here's my setup minus the shaving kit I keep in my office for when I work all night. I look forward to returning to a country that believes in counter space in the coming months.

    The juices from the left are Carribean Bay Rum (Key Lime scent is in the mail), Old Spice because Old Spice, AoS Post Balm, AoS preshave oil behind (I use it to oil my ball glove now. I hate what it does to my shaves). Burberry(?) Touch spray cologne, Old Spice Fiji gel-stick, and Aqua di Gio (scent mixes very well with pipe smoke).

    Razors are:
    Dovo Master's, Hart Steel satin 6/8 roundpoint in Rosewood, Bergischer Lowe, Hart Steel polished 6/8 roundpoint in walnut, Robert Klaas 5/8 in ebony wood, Bismarck in Pearlex, Dovo Gentleman in Yew, and in the stand is a Dovo's Best 5/8 in black resin.

    Brushes are AoS Pure Badger and Dovo Micarta Silvertip.

    Soap is the Fiuri di Frutti (epic soap), then in the mug is an old puck of glycerin vanilla, and a new in wrapper puck of CS brand wool fat black lavender (breaking that out tomorrow morning).

    Roll is the american mountain hirschleder from CS. There's some axe brand pomade back there, a tweezer man travel pouch and a new little vibraty gillette beard trimmer I use for touching up my hair cut around my ears.

    Looks like you have enough space until you start expanding on your various AD's. Enjoy.

    Nice way to keep it all together! You are getting a nice selection in very little space!

    You've got plenty of room. I even see potential to build an upper deck.

    That's a nice setup and collection you've got there.

    I forgot everything else you said. That is one epic collection! You don't happen to have more pictures of those lying around or about to be taken, do you?

    Oh yeah, and good for you that you've got yourself some room Maybe you can fix things to the wall? Look up Lynn's shave den (I don't want to make you envious, but he has a separate shaving bathroom): he's got a very nice brush stand fixed to his wall holding 6 or so brushes.

    I do, as a matter of fact, intend to take some better pictures possibly tonight. You want to see all of them, or are there ones you specifically would like a better look at?

    I'm gonna have to go and pick up a proper camera this weekend it seems. This iPhone just isn't cutting it. I took another photo, but the quality is just not great.
