On Shaving: Minor Musings of an Eternal Beginner

I just caught up on your journal, wow.
Love and light to you and your loved ones!

Your new shave den sound alot like mine, home sweet home ☺️

Thank, Zynn!

Things are going as well as could be hoped. It's a lovely day here today, so I stuck her in the garden in the sun with a big ice cream.

The downstairs "shave den" is workable but it does take some of the fun out of the experience. I am actually thinking about putting a mirror in the kitchen and shaving there instead:

  • Full sized sink instead of a little hand sink
  • Sink at a sensible height
  • Plenty of worktop space either side to lay out my gear
  • Natural light from the big windows
  • New floor, which is actually flat instead of like standing on cobbles

There's a lot to recommend it!
 
My shave spot is odd.

The sink is in our dorm room, but no bathroom just a sink. It sits low and is a small sink but lots of room on the counters. Not a ton of light but it is enough to shave. Limited storage sadly. I feel bad as my roommate has to watch me shave every night. The overflow drain is also broken so I have to watch the water levels. Also carpet below the sink... I try not to think about it too much.

Clearly, I should count my blessings that my sink is fully functional! :biggrin1:

When you get your own space to shave, you will feel like a bona fide king. Something to look forward to!

For context this is my sink. Not terrible but not great.

I think it was a common thing back when you had to heat up water on the stove.

I use the boiler on the left since the tap doesn't get too hot
