Ray's Shave Nook pics

I thought I'd share what I've accumulated in about 9 months of some serious ADs. Blades and extras not pictured.
Left side is the Badger/Horse/Boar shelf, a few razors and Edt&A/S.



Here's the Right side, Simpsons and wee brushes



Soap drawer

Cream drawer


The Toggle

The Slants

Most of the Rest


I know I know, I really need a Chubby 2 and a Horn handled Joris.

Great looking Nook and a great assortment of shave goodies.

Absolutely stunning.

I see you have been quite ill with the disease we all share. It is highly contagious and I believe you have been infected worse than others.

That's very very impressive.

All in 9 months!? WOW!

You have it really bad! That's good!

I had a Parker set and kept thinking I might do better. I was looking around online for a new brush in August and found B&B. PozzSka sold me a D01 Shavemac.
Went downhill quickly from there.

WOW !!
What are your favorites / go-tos?
Also, Where did you find that toggle?

Well I traded a giant shopping bag of software and some hardware to a nice guy from the B&B in person. I bought him lunch in Seattle actually. He had it but never really used it and I gave him considerably more stuff in $$$ that he could actually enjoy, yet I wasn't using. It's a beautiful razor.

Favorites?
The Bullgoose Horse for one...
Keyhole 3 from Jarrod, one of my first brushes. I really got my research out of that one. The horn M&F's , that tiny Omega badger/boar, the Beaufort 4, the Emperor 1 etc. If I don't like them, they go..
TFS Bergamotto Neroli, MWF, Mdc, Speick stick
I Coloniali, GFT Spanish Leather, CS Vetiver, Veleiro
Splash wise, you can't beat the La Toja Manantiales and the Speick. Alt Innsbruck is awesome. Nothing like a firehose blast of GIT.

I showed the pictures to my wife and she's been looking at me funny ever since. I think I just heard the soft, gentle sound of purse strings tightening.

Hey Dave look at it this way-you have a wife.
I doubt you want to trade.

You said that right! 38 years this November we'll have been married.

Wouldn't trade her for anything.

Good Lord; that's stunning.

I REALLY want your toggle - lovely looking piece of engineering. No blue tip?? Or did I miss it?

Wow Ray, stunning Shave Nook! I really like it!

That Toggle is beautiful!

I absolutely love your display / storage idea for your DE razors!

Looks like your set up for at least the next 9 months Ray!

Wow very impressive. In particular I love the Gillette toggle. But the other razors are not too shabby.

I'm sure I have a blue tip around somewhere. Way too mild for me.

Ben- That mirror deal was very inexpensive. They are all over ebay. I think I paid 20 bucks shipped. You'd have to pay some extra postage.

The toggle is a great shaver, I've just been using the Brits and OCs lately. My rum dip keeps them clean.

Wow, Ray, that is an impressive NOOK! Holy cow, man!

Excellent goodies Ray.
Luv the Hoffritz

Thanks for sharing.

Yeah I love the Hoffritz, I've been on the hunt for a handle for a while. It's too bad they crack.

Thanks for the tip Ray.

Should I type anything in particular into the search bar or simply just "mirrored tray"?
