I finally hung a cabinet in the bathroom that houses all of my shaving goods. I had previously been using the bottom of the vanity and having to share it with my wife. Now I am free!

Finally, my own shaving cabinet

For now...she'll use this as an excuse to purchase more girlie items and begin storing them in your cabinet.
Invest in a lock.
No Pictures?
Really, what the heck man. You know we all love razor porn!! What's the point of bragging about your new shaving cabinet if you are not going to post photos?
Post photos. Please!
WHAT no pics? Without pics it never happened!
Ahhh......The feeling of your first shaving cabinet. I remember those days fondly. Congatulations. Just don't get comfortable with the idea this is the end of it. Before long you will need your own seperate bathroom!

See pictures on post #9. It was taken with a wide angle lens, so there is some distortion making the shelves not look level.
Mark:
That's a beautiful and well organized cabinet.
Thanks for sharing.

What are you going to do when you run out of space in there, back to the vanity?
Got tired of one shelf in the Medicine Cabinet & a 12" X 24" piece of counter, had Christmas week off with nothing to do:
One Wine Case 12"W x 19 1/2"L x 4"D, w/ Top- Free
18" 3/8 round dowel- in Garage
Screws- Laying around the house
Glue (White School type)- see "Screws"
One can Clear Coat- $5.00
Two packs(4 piece) "VELCRO" Rounds- $7.50
Two wall anchors & Hanging Wire- on hand
all screw holes were pre- drilled and four coats of Clear Coat were applied prior to assembly.
Tools Available:
Radial Saw, Level, Ryko Power Driver (drill & screw driver), Tape Measure, Hammer, Manual Screw Driver for delicate work
I cut the wood top into 4 pieces to fit inside case, glued one piece as base shelf, two spaced shelves in case and one on top, ~7 1/2" (cut dowel) above top of the case, for SBs hung by Velcro rounds.
Cut four strips left over from the case top, and screwed to each side of the case, as shelf runners. After Base shelf dried, 24 hours, inner shelves were added, the Hanging Wire and the Velcro rounds were applied, it was time to hang and stock.
It's not the prettiest or roomiest thing, but IT'S MY OWN SPACE, and I accomplished it with a limited supply of tools, BUT A WHOLE LOT OF TIME.
Here's some pix taken with my cell, not the greatest but I need to wrestle the DC away from SWMBO , didn't mean to hijack the thread, apologies to those who may be offended

There is another wall in this master bathroom.
I have my blades in a drawer in the bedroom. The razor and brush are on a stand on the vanity, so they are not in the picture.
I also kept one cologne bottle in the bottom of the vanity to not lose it entirely to my wife.
Besides, she has the absolutely huge vanity in the main bathroom and has a closet large enough for a hot water tank (no tank in it) completely filled with her stuff.

Shaving is the drug that leads to carpentry
Nice cabinet and install job, very smooth looking.

I bought the cabinet at Lowe's and installed it myself. It was the only cabinet I found that matches our vanity. We did not want to spend a large amount of money on it, since we might change the vanity out in the future (along with the wall cabinet).

congrats! I just redid my bathroom this summer. Feels great to have all the space needed for my shave den
