Wooden Shaving Bowl
Description
Description
A shaving bowl carved from grained mango wood and treated for water resistance. The recess holds the soap puck snug, so it stays still while the brush works. Pre-rinse with warm water and the wood holds a little heat, loosening the lather as it builds.
Sized for the Kronos 100g puck; takes any standard shaving soap after it.

Sandalwood Shaving Soap
A traditional shaving soap, warm sandalwood scent. Loaded with a damp brush it builds a dense, cushioning lather; the blade rides on cushion, not skin. Glycerin draws in water, hydrating dry skin so the blade glides.
One 100g bar outlasts several cans of foam. Best built in a bowl; ours is carved to fit it.
Aegean Citrus Shaving Soap
A triple-milled citrus shaving soap, made in England. The scent is Aegean Citrus: Sicilian lemon and petitgrain, with a green edge of rosemary. Loaded with a damp brush, it builds a dense, cushioning lather. Glycerin draws in water, hydrating dry skin so the blade glides.
A 65g puck, 63mm across, pleat-wrapped in glassine paper. It sits snug in our wooden shaving bowl.
Also in Sandalwood.
Shaving Brush
A shaving brush in soft synthetic fibre; vegan, quick to dry, holds its shape. It does two jobs the hand can't: builds a dense lather from soap or cream, and lifts the beard so the blade meets it cleanly rather than pressed flat.
Synthetic dries faster than badger and asks for no upkeep. Store it bristles-down on the stand between shaves.

Frequent Questions
Will the soap puck stay put while I load the brush?
Yes. The recess holds the puck snug, so it stays still while the brush works instead of sliding around the sink.
What is the wooden shaving bowl made from?
Grained mango wood, treated to resist water.
Will any shaving soap fit the bowl?
The recess is shaped for our 100g puck. Once that's finished, the bowl takes any standard shaving soap after it.
How do I get the lather going faster in the bowl?
Rinse the bowl with warm water before you start. The wood holds a little of that heat, which helps loosen the lather as it builds.
The Wooden Shaving Bowl solves one specific annoyance familiar to any brush user, morning after morning: a soap puck that slides around under the brush. Its mango-wood recess is sized to grip a 63mm puck snugly, so the brush loads the soap instead of chasing it round the bowl.
Grained mango wood, treated for water resistance, means daily wetting does not warp it the way an untreated bowl would. The recess is carved to the puck's size, built for the job of loading a brush rather than serving as a generic dish.
A shaving brush pressed down on a loose puck pushes it sideways before it lifts any lather, which wastes the first stroke of a shave most mornings; this recess holds a 63mm puck snugly so the brush meets resistance and lather straight away. It is sized to the same 63mm puck the Sandalwood Shaving Soap comes in.
A different diameter will not sit as snugly in the recess, which is the trade-off for a fit tight enough to stop the sliding in the first place. A rinse and a dry after each shave is enough, since the water resistance treatment does the rest of the work of keeping the wood sound.
