Shaving soap needs a little finesse to build the rich, foamy lather that makes a classic wet shave so smooth. Use a shaving brush and this bowl to whisk your favorite shaving bar into a wonderful protective foam. The natural teak wood sits in your hand with just the right heft and grip, even when your hands are wet. And hey, this is wood, not ceramic, so dropping it is no big deal. Don't worry about the effects of soap and water on this bowl; teak wood has outstanding water resistance. So long as you dry it off eventually, this bowl will stand up to years of daily use.

Directions: Scrape, shave, or brush a small pile of soap shavings into bowl along with a small splash of warm water. Whisk mixture in bowl with a shaving brush until a rich lather forms. Experiment with more or less soap to find the right consistency for you. Apply lather to wet face and shave normally. After shaving, rinse remaining soap from bowl and wipe dry. Bowl is naturally water-resistant. For years of durability, do not store bowl in standing water or shut lid with water inside.
