Post your shave dens!

[Tulkinghorn]

Well, almost 6 weeks into DE shaving I am very pleased with the deliberately minimalist little "den" I have put together. And I'm very grateful to all you wise gents here at B&B for sharing the knowledge that helped me do so--so thank you all! It's funny, after this morning's shave I just felt so happy about how it all came together and snapped a pic and then I ran across this thread by chance. Anyway, here's my little setup:

The ATT Kronos R1 on the right is the razor I'm now expecting to be my daily shaver for life. The ones on the left are a Merkur 1904 and an AOS Muhle that I'm now mainly keeping around for decoration. Not the biggest den around for sure, but I'm happy with it.

I don't really have a display, rather a storage setup. Underneath is a simple basket with the rest of my supplies.

I'm curious, how did you hook the box of blades?

 

[Chadtheguru]

I think the boxes are made to hang and dispense, given the punch-out slot. My guess would be a hanging tab on the top or a punch-out nail hole on the back.

I used a small screw directly onto the vanity and then like Chadtheguru stated, the box has a loop on the top that you can use to hang it.

Neat! thanks!

Now that is very neat and out of the way! Really like this idea Where did you get those black things that you have around the brushes to hang up on the hooks?

I've been wet shaving since the early 70's and use mostly Gillette razors. I shave with an assortment of Super Speeds, including the Ranger Tech, and Milord, Fat Boys, an aluminum Tech, and a couple pot metal shavers. It's a multi decade collection of family heirlooms. The least used are the Ranger Tech and Milord. They are both like new as are their cases with retail boxes. My Grandfather never used them and put them into a closet where they remained until he passed in the 90's.

I cut out some pieces from a velcro reel from work. The only place I could find online to give you a reference is this:

They are pricey for the reel, and the size that I used is the 1/2" width. If you have a computer and/or network department that you are close with talk to the technicians, they might have one lying around. That's how I did it. The reel that we use (telecommunications) is 3/4" thick, so I needed the thinner one, and checked out our computer techs inventory and cut a piece lol

Really looking for a wall cabinet for my collection. Just no willing to pay an arm and a leg for one so this will do for now.
