Inside The Shave Cave

Builders Finish New Bathroom In Seven Weeks Shock

I can't even begin to tell you how good this feels.

Seven weeks it's taken. Read that again. Seven weeks. Seven. Weeks.

Seven weeks of having to shave in conditions that I would politely describe as not exactly ideal** while the builders gutted then refitted our bathroom. Seven weeks. Seven weeks. Going by that timescale, you'd have thought they were transforming our bathroom into the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. No – they were simply ripping out the guts of the old bathroom and putting in a new shower, sink, bath and vanity unit.

And a new, wall-mounted cabinet.

Specifically, a wall-mounted cabinet that I can now call my own, mainly because I was quick off the mark and put my shaving stuff in there before anyone else had a chance to blink***.

What a cabinet it is, as you can see from the photographs above and to the right. It's got lights down each side and everything. It even talks to me and tells me how great I look every morning****. The most important thing about it, though, is that it's got just about enough room to house all my razors, soaps, creams and after-shave balms and lotions. So, in terms of space, as long as I don't buy anything else shaving-related*****, I'll be laughing.

So there we have it. Stay a while and browse - as much as you can with a photograph, that is.

* If there are such readers.

** And which I would not-so-politely describe as piss-poor.

*** This is a lie. I always knew the cabinet was going to be mine and spent a quite considerable amount of time researching a suitable option.

**** It doesn't do this.

***** I know, right? The problem is, I've just discovered – via my barber – that there's a shop about a mile from where I live that sells shaving products. A shop that I feel duty bound to visit in the not-very-distant future.
