Solid handmade shaving bowl made of real horn with a horn base.

Highly polished inside and out.

Real cattle horn shaving bowl - The shaving bowl itself is made from a piece of cattle horn. The horn is cut lengthwise, formed into a plate under heat, cut and then formed again under heat into a shell. Only large cattle horns are suitable - we mainly use the horn of the African zebu cattle.

The base of the bowl is also made of horn - but this round one, approx. 5-7mm thick piece from the solid tip of the water buffalo horn. The bowl fits perfectly in the hand and allows the shaving soap to be lathered comfortably. The horn has been carefully polished and is well protected against soap and water by a layer of beeswax. Any moisture remaining in the soap will not harm the bowl - but you should avoid (if the bowl needs to be cleaned) very hot water, household cleaners or even putting it in the dishwasher or flash drying on the heater or with a hairdryer.

Horn has a very pleasant feel - after all, the material is of the same origin as our skin itself. Each bowl looks a little different because the horn always has individual grains.

The natural material does not release any harmful substances and does not react with the shaving soap.
