my Low-Tek Shave Den

[Lo'Tek]

My setup is simple and functional. This is where I start my day off.

- Razors & Strop
- Hot water Bowl & Towel
- Oils, Shave Creams/Gels, & Balms

You need some Tabac in there

That's an awesome setup, good and simple I think we can all appreciate that!

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

It looks good the way it is. Seriously. The stark simplicity is refreshing. I especially like your set-up with the hot-plate and bowl.

Do you use the Castor Oil to shave with?

Simple is great--love the wood, hanging strop, straight, etc.... The great thing about being low tech in this case is that the majority of 'outsiders' run screaming from de's alone, let alone straights...giving it a huge boost of coolness.

That's a great looking den. Nicely done.

 

[silentorpheus]

Very cool!

Is that just a bowl on a mug warmer? I don't see a power cord for it, but it could just be the camera angle.

 

[RichGem]

simple can sometimes be the nicest. nice set up!

 

[RCC]

Nice, how exactly do you steam your face? Just heat the water and put your face in front of it? or dip your towel in the hot water and then put it on your face?

More doesnt always mean better

i love your walls! i wish my shaving area had that kind of charm!

 

[valmara1971]

Nice set up, I envious as I shave my area with 3 cats 2 of which insist on riding my neck whilst shaving!

 

[mdunn]

very nice

though im not sure how low tech it is with a hot plate in the den!

 

[featherman]

Very nice, one of the best dens that I have seen. Simplicity is often best.
But how are you going to make space for the stuff that your RAD will force you to buy?

 

[nmerth]

Sweet den! Do you use the Folding straight and the Traditional Jap straight during the same shave???

 

[Bertilak]

I like it!

Reminds me that I am a long way off from my goal of simplifying my setup!

 

[SpyvSpy]

I like it
