    Default Shave Den in Transition

    Gentlemen, here is the shave den in transition. The soap cave (not shown) is to the right of the counter. Thanks for looking.

    Thanks, Tarkus. Four more razors, two NOS, are on the way, and I have several in my office to hone. I need to move things around in the shave den to make room for everybody. Oh, what fun.
    Stay well.

    I'm afraid my lather would get cold, before I could choose which razor to use.

    Would you like to adopt a 27 yr old man? I am really good at drinking beer and watching football.

    Oh, my shave ritual every morning has a system.
    After I get out of bed and make the coffee I prepare the shave den for the shave. First, the day's strop gets a hand rubdown. Then I choose the razor for the day and wipe the oil from the blade. Sometimes I strop the razor then and other times I strop it after the first lather and before the shave. Then comes the soap or cream selection and the brush. Fresh face, razor wiping and razor cleaning towels are brought out. After a cup or two of coffee and a visit with the New York Times, the Washington Post and several on-line political sites, then comes the shower. On the way to the shower the Moss Scuttle is filled with hot water and the brush placed in it, the lather bowl is filled with hot water to warm up, and the hard soap is topped with hot water to soften up.
    Is this heaven or what?

    We would have oodles of things in common since I am 27 myself — and have been for decades and am not budging.

    That is one serious "Shave Ritual".
