Inspired by another memember, I decided to make my own coconut shaving bowl. It ended up like this:
I bought a nice, well formed coconut in a supermarket. The first thing I did, was to empty it from the juice.
I did it by making three holes on the top of the coconut. It can be done by some kind of screwdriver. I placed it upside down on a cup until all the juice was out.
Then I used my hacksaw to remove the top of the coconut.
I think, that it is important, to do it at the right place, not too high, not too low, so that the lather don't overflow (if too low) and that the hole is big enough to make it easy to lather.
After that I left the open coconut to the day after.
I then removed the meat form the coconut with a sharp knife by cutting out slices piece by piece.
Before I use the bowl, I fill it with water with brush in it and let let the bowl and the brush soak for a few minutes.
The result was surprising! Very comfortable lathering, without the lather all over outside the bowl.
After the shaving, I just rinse it with water and leave it with the remaining coconut cap on a shelf in my bathroom.
Have a nice day!
