have brought 200. (Is take OK?)

1- My bookshelf can-----------only 100 books whereas you
have brought 200. (Is take OK?)
I would say
My bookshelf can accomodate(contain,include) only 100 books whereas you have brought 200

2- Haven't you been shaving? Why is it(your shave) so----
(Are big and small OK?)

I don't like this sentence at all
Shave is not the appropriate word.Maybe you imply bristle or beard?
