I'm so disappointed that SRP is gone pre-2019. I was a member in 2011 and haven't been back in a while. I no longer have the shave den I used to have nor pics of them.

Hey, new guy here. Thought I'd start with my (today's at least) shave den. Today it was Taylor Pre, cream and balm. Parker silvertip badger brush and a Dovo 5/8 Natural w/ bamboo scales. I tend to put stuff out as I use it.
Happy to be here.

Is there a Doctor in the house ?
Being ashamed of my foolishly profligate acquisition of razors, I had a Wall of Shame in my office:

Wall of Shame.jpg

This irritated some patients enormously for unknown reasons, and many felt free to criticize it on review sites. Screw 'em, said I. No one ever minded the Spitfire or the Mosquito. Nor all the fountain pens. I was in that room for ten hours a day, six days a week. I wanted it to be nice for me.

Then there were the Shelves of Shame, with a small portion of the brushes, aftershaves, and soaps, with none of the creams, in my bathroom shown here on home developed colour film from a Leica M2:

They are still there, though I rotate the brushes somewhat with the store in the basement. I also have a couple of nice TI display cases on the bedroom wall full of my favourite razors (Zowadas, Livis, Wacker, TI, W&B, Harts etc). Most razors, strops and brushes have to live in the basement, and all my creams, soaps and spare bottles of aftershaves live in the Drawers of Shame of which I have no photos. What the hell I'll do with them all when my wife makes me move next year, I do not know.

Wonderful! Fortunately for me, when we moved to our retirement home last year, my biggest issue was my kitchen collection (knives, copper, etc.). Also fortunate -- I do all the cooking and my family is spoilt, ergo, no issues from my wife! My fountain pens were small enough (and so easily packaged and contained) that their move was made moot. Now my guitars, basses and drums... LOL! Negotiate, Doc! Negotiate!

And what an amazing collection. Well done!
