Building a "mans bathroom" what should be in there?

So, we have two baths in the house. My wife uses one, I use the other.

I don’t even go in her bathroom, I get annoyed by all the girly stuff all over the place.

I am going to build a mans bathroom, that is simple and an oasis for men.

I’m going to share some ideas I had, and see if you guys could help me out.

It is a small bathroom, with a tub/shower sink with vanity, and toilet. Nothing special.

So here is some of the stuff I am thinking of doing, or have already done.

– Old school barber shop products. You know, the clubman powder, the barbicide disinfectant jar. Hair tonics, old spice.

– Good razors, I bought a bunch of 6 blade razors from dorco, and put them in a metal tin.

– Fog free mirror in the shower, for shaving.

– Upgraded toilet, my house has the builder grade toilet and it is not great. Also I am looking at getting a water powered bidet attachment for the toilet.

– Nice classic magazine rack, filled with gun magazines, and stuff like that.

– Decent color paint on the walls, and a nice shower curtain. Possibly convert shower to a steam shower.

– I also bought the towels for hot towels on my face before shaving. I use vix vaporub on the towels and run it under hot water before using. This is what my barber does.

I don’t have a ton of money, so major remodeling would not be in the budget. I have always wanted a urinal in the bathroom, and a tv built into the mirror but that will wait for my larger house in the future, lol.

What do you guys think?

I’d say no on the urinal, can’t imagine that being great for resale IMO. Just get a high powered toilet that can take off your hat.

I’d go with the Safety Razor or Straight Razor setup.

Tile the walls & add a floor drain. Ya know… For when shit gets real.

Yeah,the urinal is a waste…that’s what the sink is for.

Stripper pole for sure.

I executed the urinal and flat screen ideas, along with the steam shower (sound linked to TV and radio) and a heated toilet seat for the regular one. I disagree about resale. You have two identical houses. One has a urinal and it’s $1000 more. Which one are you buying? [ATTACH=CONFIG]32881[/ATTACH]

This is too white collar for me.

I just like to take a shit on a clean toilet and go about my day.

this.

I know you’re not local, but my old man has a brand new urinal laying around from a job that never got used.

Urinal would be great in a garage. Get some really modern countertops, mirrors, faucets and tile flooring, all matching with a decent wall color, def. look sharp.

Walk in showers are baller too, big ol’ shower head, awesome stream of water

Yeah urinal just seems tacky.

Personally, I want one of those touchless flush mechanisms on an elongated bowl. That toilet with the automatic opening / closing top is cool too.

15

Holy shit man, that rocks!

The idea’s so far in here are great, I can’t think of anything else I’d add!

Pretty cool article on Urinal’s in a bathroom: http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/16700646/list/Should-You-Install-a-Urinal-at-Home-

Since I’m in sales and I usually am making cold calls all day, I get told I’m full of shit by a lot of people…This would be good for me:

Well those are some classy looking pissers :tup:

Consider me uncultured or something, but why bidet? Nothing like a wet ass and balls after a steamy shit? No thanks.

Please, I am open to discussion on this, as I have never used a bidet. How do you get dry afterwards? Educate me.

19

I’m with you on this. I was always under the assumption that a bidet was for the women to well… you know, flush and rinse…I would just throw some wet wipes in there and call it a day.

Have you ever tried to wipe a wet ass with just toilet paper…? you’re going to end up with a toilet paper confetti project all up in your asscrack.

I’m missing something here.
