    Default D.R. Harris Shaving Soap bowls

    i have noticed there is like $2 difference between the D R Harris Bowls
    ( mahogany wood and beech wood )

    whats the difference in the wood quality ??

    i am no expert, all i observe is the color difference, one is lighter other is darker. and i am sure thats not the only reason for the price difference

    i will just buy the refill soap and use my air tight stainless steel container.
    that way perhaps, the soap scent will last much longer

    I have both and I have not noticed any quality difference. I think it is basically the appearance that differ.

    However I which that both bowls was mahogany since they would fit better together with the AOS, GFT and T&H bowls.

    I have both. Both are nice. The price difference is simply because Mahogany is more costly.

    I think the mohany is a best quality wood and more dificult than the water deform the bowl.

    And for me is more luxurious.
