Nothing too fancy - 2 glass shelves from Lowe's and the rest in drawers or under the sink. Outta sight are 400 Derby blades, more soaps, more creams, more AS - you know the deal. I make due with the shorter, angled end of the counter, while the wife has the other - again, you know the deal.
Too cheap to buy soap in wooden bowls, so I use Hocking glass cups for all pucks except Tabac, Gold Dachs and Pre de Provence. Just picked up MWF and Cade SS and have to try them yet. The make-shift scuttle I got at Meijer's for about $5.00. It's a big soup mug with a shallower Corelle bowl that sits perfectly inside with room for lots of hot water underneath. Not perfect (inner bowl is white and smooth), but I can still whip up a pretty good lather.
Brushes - Shavemac 177; Rooney 3/2 Super; C&E BBB; and an Omega boar short loft. Still need a razor rack for my old Gillettes and a couple Merkurs. For AS, I like the old fav's from the barbershops of my youth in the 60's - Clubman & OS.
Got an extra OS mug from my dad and his old boar brush to restore for him. It's butterscotch on the base and black at the top. I think it's a rubberset, but I'm not sure. Should look nice with a new 2 band badger knot in it.
Great den! I really like that shelf.
for good shaves.
