We just received this neat DIY tip from Eric that solves the problem of how the hell to store your electric razor when you don't want to put it away each time:
I found a simple and cheap solution to free up some bathroom counter space if you have an electric razor. Using two "BAREN" wall pegs from IKEA, I created a simple wall holster for my electric razor.
This falls into that category of great creative uses for IKEA products that the brains in Sweden haven't already thought of. If you have another one, feel free to email us up top. More pics below. (Thanks, Eric!)
Please tell me the whole point of this thread (the electric razor) and the underpants are not related. This isn't that kinda site...is it?
Great idea. This may also be a good solution for holding a blow dryer.
Without some kind of clip, I'd just be a little concerned about the thing accidently flyinig into the sink with the water running and me jump starting my day with a 110V jolt instead of the usual cup of joe.
it looks like the balls on the end of the pegs would prevent slippage -- i'm guessing you insert from the top?
and, yeah, if you spaced the pegs a big more, you could probably use the same strategy for a blowdryer. my blowdryer storage of choice has been one of those big french-style (oversized, with the porcelain balls on the ends) bathroom clothes pegs. i loop the cord around the lower peg a couple times and wedge the blowdryer onto the upper one. however, i keep mine in my bedroom and thus don't have to worry about it accidentally getting bumped into the sink...
OK. So what I'd be doing with that wall next is to photograph that whole contraption straight on, and then doing an enlarging photocopy until I got it up to life-size onto cardstock -- say about 10 copies of it. Then carefully cut out the black part and, thereby creating a stencil and then stencil that whole thing on the walls, after getting a switchplate in a bright color and then also creating a stencil from the shape of THAT and stenciling that all over the walls, too.
So basically it would be like electric-razor-in-holster-camouflaged wall, so you that the razor didn't stand out; it would look like a pattern.
I'm sure that I shall be carted off some day.
Are those underpants hanging on the back of the door (in the reflection)?
Can't we just give the benefit of the doubt and say it's a shower cap???
Sure could. But "underpants" is a whole lot funnier to say than "showercap."
Also much funnier than jock strap.
Unless worn as a shower cap.
Patrick wins!
