Ah the secret is to only keep a few items out. You will notice that I only have 2 razors and 4 brushes out on my counter. If I want to use a different razor or brush I bring it into the shave den and take out one.
To the untrained SWMBO eye all razors and brushes look the same as long as the razors are chrome and the brushes have white handles.
Little things like the size of the razor or brush handle are not noticeable. So as long as there are only 2 razors and 4 brushes out on the counter there are no conversations about my razor and brush collection because there are only 2 razors and 4 brushes out on the counter.
Problem is that Pretty Wife already has her things in all drawers and cabinets in 'shared' bathroom - thats why I bought the shelf. If I don't have my things out, I have to keep them in another room.
Don't make me give up my Man Card yet though - I'm slowly re-taking the shelves by encouraging her to share my shaving supplies.. Pretty Wife is amazed that I'm able to find creams and lotions that work better than her stuff. (I didn't much like that Cucumber scented witch hazel anyway.)
