    Default Rose & Co. Shaving Bowl

    Has anyone used this stuff?

    Obviously the bulk of the cost id for the ceramic pot (which does look great) but I'd heard that Kent soap contained lanolin/woolfat and Kentbrushes are selling the wooden bowl on ebay for £5:

    Is this essentially the same soap?

All this electrical rubbish, little wheels spinning around all over the place for callow youths and peach fluff, Not for a man's beard. Razor blades for men! I think we'll have this on number 9. If you're going to have a shave have a close one!

    Sure is!

    A few of us bought the Kent soap with wooden bowls from E-Bay.

    It's fine soap, but a little dried out. Just needs some "quiet time" with hot water to be a very nice shave!

    Thanks Howard.

    I've just ordered the £5 bowl from Ebay. I'll hang on a bit longer for the Rose soap.
