What's in those travel containers in the patterned cup? The orange liquid bottle in the background looks like some kind of after or pre-shave thing, and I'm guessing that container is a soap (that or pomade), but I can't see the contents of those ones.
Yes.
I keep my stuff in the medicine cabinet in my bathroom.
Lucky!
Very nice use of what looks like a small space but, my God man, buy some bleach!
Bleach is for kids. If you want serious cleaning power, use Arko. Just be sure to use gloves, goggles and respiratory protection.
I can't stand clutter. I like things nice and neat.
You will, just a matter of time!Hi,
Right here:
Grandpa's Old Type, my Fasan, my wife's Lady Gillette, my brush, my soap mug. I face lather, so the mug just holds my made up soap. The Lubriderm is my AS. The other liquid soap isn't part of shaving. Over on the right, you see my styptic pencil and my Dad's post war Tech and his Rubberset brush are just out of the frame. Used once in a while.
Spare razors and box of blades are in a drawer. Extra soap, a few pucks, is under the sink.
There is Schick Type C3 repeater (uses injector blades) and a small brush in a Dopp Kit also under the sink.
I don't have the large collection some have.
Hi,
Thank you Stan, nothing like reading about heirloom and sentimentality while indulging in our hobbies!Hi,
Ha!
Nope. I have been at this since 1976. I did get into acquiring too much once I found good old B&B in 2011. Got back out of most of what I acquired in 2014. Except my Fasan double slants. I have two, one is a spare, since they take some time to find.
The metal top cap is the one I use daily, the other is the spare, and both have my own handles on them.
Then there is the heirloom stuff. Won't be getting rid of that, but I've had it all from before I found B&B. Dad passed in 1995. Granpa passed in 1979. So his was my second razor.
So, that's two additional razors which sit in a drawer. The other two are out in view. And the two Old Spice mugs of my Dad's with Old Spice soap still in them. On the days when I use Dad's razor and brush, I also use his soap. The post war Tech I use on his birthday, the pre war Tech I use on my birthday and the Super Speed I use on Christmas Day which is when mom gave him that in 1948.
I also have some Open Comb razors I acquired back when I Had The RAD. They are user grade, so I never sold them on the BST. I kept them and used them from time to time during Open Comb OCtober. I'm not using them this year, though. So, also in the drawer. I did take a group pic at some point, though.
Maybe I ought to think about passing those on to others via the BST..... Hmmm..... Keep the Schick as that's in my Dopp Kit and maybe the New Short Comb (which I like better than the Long Comb). Hmmm.....
Anyway, I'm done with any form of shaving AD. I'm back to the same razor every day such as I did in the beginning when Dad gave me his old pre war Tech (and I had only one razor, period). I have been in the year-long restraint every year beginning in 2014. And, I'm in the decade long restraint these days as well, where the rule is buy only when you run out.
I also bought a new brush as RV had a Group Buy for the site Contribs early this year. I need a new pic with that on the sink. The one I show is now under the sink as a spare. Which, I bet I'll never need.
I just ran out of Personna Med Prep blades and ordered another box. I use two blades per month, so I'm good for about four years there. I say about as my wife uses one out of my box of 100 for her razor once in a while, and I can't speak to the frequency which she uses them. One every couple of months I guess.
So, I shall have no need for any further storage or display space than what I have now.
Stan
