Executive Shaving Acacia Wood Soap and Lathering Bowl

Description

Made from a hardwood called Acacia, this handmade wooden shaving soap dish is slightly larger than most. nWe commissioned this bowl, it has been made to our exact specifications, the bowl is exclusive to The Executive Shaving Company. The larger dimensions will allow the user more space inside to lather up a hard shaving soap refill puck. The bowl can also be used as a lathering up bowl for soft shaving creams.nEach bowl was individually lathe turned and then polished by hand.nAcacia wood is known for its beautiful grain and its hardness making it absolutely the right wood for a shaving bowl.nWe were offered oak and teak by the manufacturer but these are very slow growing trees, by contrast, Acacia grows very fast indeed. nAn acacia falcate tree planted in Sabah, Malaysia is recorded as having grown 35 feet in just 13 months, averaging around an extra an inch per day in height. Such growth speeds reflect the fact that many of the Acacia species are growing in tropical climates that provide nutrition and rainfall throughout the year. This provides an almost perpetual growing season.nnThe bowl sits perfectly in the palm of your hand, the lid is embossed with The Executive Shaving Company logo.n*shaving soap not included*
