Only been wet shaving for a couple of months, and I absolutely love it! It gives me smooth/comfortable shaves, it’s economical and mostly it’s such a pleasure to shave!
 
This.

Standouts include a Blackland Blackbird, brushes from Grizzly Bay, That Darn Rob and Turn N Shave, and a bunch of Barrister and Mann and Declaration Grooming. This stuff has been my favorites as of late.

My last 100 blade purchase was Gillette Platinums, cause they’re awesome. Plan on buying more soon.
That’s a lot of blades! How long do a 100 blades last you?

Seems like you have a huge shave den!
 
yeah I’ve gone to 10 on those blades but the 10th wasn’t what I’d call pleasant. Just got busy and forgot to change it, but they’re usually great up until about 8 or so. Puts the cost down to almost nothing for great blades.
I think 5 uses is more than enough. Otherwise it’ll take a couple of years to get through a box of blades 😊
 
I don't have a "Shave Den"...I have my one drawer in the bathroom vanity cabinet! I've got int very neatly organized (unlike the other members of my family's drawers), but it must accommodate my shaving and hair products (and I'm a hair guy!) so it's a little tight, but workable! Again, ORGANIZATION is the key! And, fortunately, I am a bit of a minimalist when it comes to product variety - I have my go-to's and I stick to them!

Perhaps I will inherit another drawer soon, as our daughter recently graduated college and is likely moving out on her own. Nahhhhh, I'm positive that vacated drawer will NOT be available to me! I am richly blessed none-the-less!

A slightly old set of photos, but generally still like this. Prowling around Ohio's Burlingtons and Marshalls has added more varieties of Creamo Creme and other creams to the Arsenal of Shavocracy.
