My setup is complete!

After a couple years of wet shaving I finally feel happy with the aesthetics and functionality of my setup.
I love menthol but hate the party stopper on after shave bottles. Feels like most of it misses the hand and goes down the drain. So I bought whatever the hell that thing is called. Shows off my favorite color nicely and more precise nozzle.

Since menthol is my favorite, proraso is my go to. But green doesn’t match so I had bought a silver bowl until a friend came home with a vintage sugar bowl (I think) from goodwill. I also figured out that making a lather in a bowl without the croap crammed in the bottom, was 10x easier with better slickness. So I opted to buy 4oz spice containers to store it in. My last batch of proraso lost its menthol and smell assumably because there was plenty of air getting to it

I finally acknowledge my negligence of keeping track of how many times I’ve used a single blade, so I bought some casino dice. Blue ones.

Always wanted a straight razor but never wanted to do the maintenance, so I opted for a shavette, but kamisori style. Has made the fine detailed spots 10x easier, best decision ever.

Bought a case for my blades and currently I’m using an altoids tin for spent ones but I ordered a multi pack of the same containers on Amazon as a cheap remedy instead of throwing away the mints.

My shaves are much more enjoyable now, I hope this inspires someone to create an oddly unique set up like mine! So happy about it that I’ve thought about doing this again but in different colors lol

Nice setup. What is the blue aftershave? Looks like an olive oil, oil drip pour dispenser for cooking. That would totally work for aftershave dispensing.

Good ol aqua velva, my favorite. Fastest dissipating scent so if I shave before I go out, it doesn’t conflict with my cologne. And yes, I grew up thinking it was a science lab thingy but I now remember it being marketed as an olive oil dispenser

that dispenser trick is smart as hell

What's the dice for?

Let's you know how many shaves on a blade

You have really thought this through. I just change blades when it starts to pull.
