Once I get past 7, that becomes my weekly razor holder and I build something larger. My only concern was having carbon steel in a bathroom, exposed to the humidity from the shower. Dad is a retired cop, he has a full woodshop in the garage.

Newbie question, RAD? I see a lot of acronyms that I do not understand. Could someone help a new guy out?

Just noticed you sig line, nice rifle. I have a similar boom-stick. Just got a Beretta comp shotgun for sporting clays, talk about an expensive habit, $3K for a fancy scattergun.

RAD Razor Acquisition Disorder...
as for the rack, you need to find where Lynn posted pictures of his... same basic idea.
yes you might have problems in a bathroom where steam is often encountered...
Those of us who have our racks in the bathroom have sealed the rack to prevent moisture from getting in in some way...
add a nice glass front to your rack to make it a cabinet, and use some weather stripping, or some other sealant, and your problem is solved for the most part.

And throw in some silica packs as well to help keep it dry.

So I did what any self respecting husband would do, I walked into her closet (one of the small bedrooms that I made into a closet) and started counting pairs of shoes,,,,, She likes the microwave now!!!!!!!

I cannot recomend this enough, this might be the best $35 I have spent since I started straight shaving...
The difference in the shave is dramatic, and the luxury of those hot towels just makes ya feel like a king....

Try a little FO, or even better EO, in the water that you use to soak the towels and it gets even better


Still waiting for other to post their ideas from their "Shave Dens"

What is FO & EO?

[Mike_ratliff]

FO fragrance oil EO Essential oil

FO = Fragrance oil... A cheaper chemically derived scent bearing oil

EO = Essential Oil... The actual oil brought forth from a plant, flower, root etc:

Dave I just read your tag line

Here is one I heard years ago... Coffee should be served... Hot as Hell, Black as Night, and Sweet as Sin.... can't remember where though

I soooo wish we had Walmart in the uK those soap dishes are amazing ..



Glen your den looks awesome .. sadly my bathroon ain't big enough to swing a rat in .

[cannonfodder]

We have a good one over at home-barista, CBSU approval
Carbon Based Spousal Unit
Or ‘the dark side’ lever driven espresso machines.
Right now, my collection consists of one KingKutter razor and a old horse hide strop, but razor two is in transit and I have my eye on several over at fleaBay if the price is right. Now I need a brush, soap and a new strop would be nice.

Went over to our local craft store tonight and they had unfinished shadowboxes with glass fronts that open for 14.99 I grabbed one and am going to finish it for a razor display box. I will post a pic here when I get it finished. I was concidering cuting a pegboard to size and fiting it insde to be able to adjust the peg design as needed any opinions?

[crichton]

My wife made a couple shadowboxes when I first started collecting and she used pegboard and covered it with black cloth. Looks real nice.

Some really nice "Shave Den" pics here. I'm super jealous of everyone with a bathroom big enough for this stuff. I got my little apartment hallway bathroom, and it'll be barely big enough to hold the soaps and bowls I need to do a basic shave properly.

When I buy a house in the next few months, I'll have to make sure I can have a respectable shave den...

And we see the pics ???? where???
LETS SEE THE STUFF!!!!!

I want a place for my straights too... Just out of curiosity. Does cedar corrode steel? I've read somewhere that it contains some oils with low pH-value or something.

A bump for the question above, and a quick question of my own:

I have a small humidor that I've left sadly vacant for quite some time now. Would that work for razor storage if I keep it dry in there?

[gssixgun]

Answers for both questions above:

1. Not any problem that I know of with cedar, however this was aged wood, and was treated with stain.... which I would recommend for any wood going in a bathroom.....A marine spar urethane would be another option here!!!!!

2. A Humidor is designed to keep moisture in, so I would have to assume that it would keep moisture out, too, However don't most humidors have a small venting system???? that might be a problem, if the moisture could get in, and then stay in there!!!!!

[kerryman71]

I don't know of a venting system in a humidor.
I have one and it's basic purpose is to keep
the moisture in. You have to keep up with the
humidification device to keep the moisture
level acceptable otherwise it will
lose it's moisture level over time.

This is why I never throw away silica gel packs. They also work well to keep cereal crunchy!

I just completed this little project for the shave den. Red oak with about 4 coats of poly. I notice I have some space at the end. I need to get busy and do some shopping.
