Shaving Bowl

What is a Shaving Bowl?

Shaving Bowls are made for whipping up a nice thick and airy foam from, for example, a Shaving Soap or Shaving Cream so that your razor glides smoothly over your skin. When you have applied a little Shaving Soap, Shaving Cream, or another shaving product to your damp shaving brush, you can use a Shaving Bowl to whip up your shaving product. This ensures a pleasant and comfortable shave!

How do I use a Shaving Bowl?

First, take your Shaving Accessories out of the cabinet. Then wet your shaving brush with warm water and apply Shaving Soap or Shaving Cream to the brush. Next, swirl the shaving brush around in the Shaving Bowl to start whipping up a nice and airy foam. Is the foam foaming well and you no longer see the consistency changing (this can take up to about a minute)? Then you have a nice foam and can start applying the foam to your Face.

Is your foam still very stiff and thick in the Shaving Bowl? Then the foam needs more water. Therefore, add about a teaspoon of warm water to the foam and continue whipping until a foam forms that is light and shiny and has a texture you can compare to whipped egg whites (or slightly looser than that).

If you accidentally added too much water, large air bubbles will form in the foam that you can no longer whip away. You could now add a little Shaving Soap or Shaving Cream, or you can start over. Too wet foam does not shave well and dries quickly on your Face.

Tip! Use a Beard Bib to protect your Apparel and Bathroom from all hairs and Shaving Foam.
