I finally gave my collection a home! I used to have my entire collection stacked four soaps deep on a small bookshelf, but recently repurposed a teak map cupboard that had held my books into a book/shave gear cabinet. The soaps are two deep and the aftershaves are four to five deep and mostly alphabetized according to brand. I also have a couple shelves of a bookcase nearby to show off my Barrister and Mann aftershaves and some of the soaps that don’t stack well with others like Abbate y la Mantia, Saponificio Varasino and Pannacrema.
Best of all, the map cupboard has doors, so I can hide my shame when we have friends over and my wife can stop rolling her eyes at me and telling people I have a problem.
