Thread: The Shave Den Again !!!!!

That looks great BJ it looks like the tangs sit in small holes or at least divots which really would make them sturdy too...
Great job thanks for posting it!!!!!

That is an awesome shelf!

I really am super jealous of all you guys out there with enough room to do all this stuff.

I like that. Looks a lot easier to make than what I was thinking of. A little routing to round the front edge, mark out the hole centers and chuck a Forstner bit in the drill press. No scroll saw work needed. I do not think having them sit on the tang like that would cause any problems. The steel is not going to bend under the minuscule weight of the razor. Only thing I would worry about is having one open when it gets removed, gravity pulling the blade open, but that would not be that big of a deal. don’t put your finger on the trigger, don’t grab a razor by the blade.

Man, I am so jealous of your set up. I want to come over and shave at your house. I was looking up Trumpers Barbershop in London today and read a review on how they treat their customers. Made me wish I would have made the trip when I was in Germany. All that to say, your shave den would be the perfect proxy for the english mecca of shaving. I love it. Outstanding job.

The holes were easy to mark and drill. I made a mark on the wood every 1 inch and used a 7/8 forstner bit to drill the holes. I have had no issues with the blades sitting on the tang and have a shallow hole drilled for each to set in. I have all my blades pretty tight in the scales so have no issues with them coming open on their own. This one is a 38 hole unit. I have a 12 hole unit over my sink that I made out of Missouri Cedar which came from a tree on my own place.

There we go, getting some more Stuff on this thread....
those look great BJ thanks for posting!!!!!

OOOO, AAAAH. Very nice work!

I love the display cabinets.

Mine are sitting out on a shelf and I have to slather with mineral oil each time.

I lucked out. At the Ohio get together I was lucky enough to win a display case. A gorgeous TI case from Classicshaving. Add in some fancy wood scaled razors (7 blades in transit, I cut my own scales in the wood shop) and I am on my way.
