Post your Shave Dens!

[Spider]

So, I've recently cleaned and reorganized my Shave Den (bathroom). Hence my recent influx of brush pictures.
So let's see your Dens! Doesn't matter if it's a 10 year old den with lots of stuff, like mine, or if it's a newbie or minimalist den with just a few items..... let's see where you shave and what you keep nearby.




You can see my green/black tripod set up for when I do VLOGs.

I actually found a few different "era" photos of my wet shaving journey:

Early-2013:
Very first wet shaving items, a starter kit from Maggard along with a Walmart salsa bowl and AV Ice Blue, the only splash I ever used. No den to speak of.


Mid-2015:
No photo of brushes or razors, but if memory serves:
Brushes: Omega 11575 & 3 Plisson, one of which I had transplanted the knot into an old EverReady handle
Razors: Maggard MR3, Fatboy, Schick Krona
Soaps and Creams: Some fun throwbacks in this photo including a some shuttered artisans like QCS, SS, and SCS
Den was a 3 bin shelf from Ikea (you can see the soaps on the left in one of the bins) kept in the linen closet


Mid-2020
Wife has allowed me 3 of the 6 shelves in our master bath storage cabinet where the brushes, razors, and splashes live. Daily driver soaps live in a container under my sink and the "unobtanium" live on a shelf in the linen closet.
Brushes & Razors:


Splashes:
Photo of the daily driver splashes, apparently don't have a picture of all my other "rarer" ones, mostly from Japan and vintage Old Spice


Soaps and Creams:
Daily Drivers & Vintage Williams / Colgate


"Unobtanium" box that gets broken out for special occasions:

Ha! These are 6 months old so I'll need to post an updated one when we get back from Florida, but you'll be happy to know that I dropped a puck of CBL Master Barber Back Alley into a new-to-me OS mug, both of which aren't pictured here as they were recent gifts courtesy of @MarkB from the Rudolph exchange!

Nice Tight Buns. Have you had a chance to compare it to Irish Countryside?

Nice Tight Buns. Have you had a chance to compare it to Irish Countryside?

Thanks! I actually have not, although I'd assume it should be extremely comparable. The scent on it wasn't particularly strong even new, and now is naturally that much fainter after 7 years. I don't keep it in the squirrel stash because it's a particularly unique take on Green Irish or even that it was rare to get even back then, but rather that it's a relic of those 2013/2014 YouTube shaver days when I was just getting into the hobby.

It's been years since I've purchased a RR soap - can't remember what the old soap base was from that era (tallow or vegan) but when I'll be interested to compare when I get back against the Irish Countryside.

I was involved in an Arizona passaround with @BarberDave a few years back and got the chance to try it. I loved the scent, but I agree it wasn't quite strong enough. I plan to pick up Irish Countryside later this year.

Not much has changed since we did this last time, a few more DE's, a razor or two and some soaps is about all

Clean your mirror Dave!!!

I repurposed my father’s dresser that he had before I was even born. when I first started I thought I’d have plenty of space for shaving and anything else with room to spare lol.

I keep a Google Sheet with inventory, my rotation, and shave log. Yes, I'm a nerd.
