Shaving soap bowl genuine light cattle horn HORN BOWL 100mm DR. DITTMAR Germany

Solid handmade shaving bowl made of genuine light cattle horn.  

 

High gloss polished inside and outside. 

Usable depth: approx. 40 mm 

Diameter (at the upper edge): approx. 100 mm   

The shaving bowl itself is made from a single piece of cattle horn. The horn is cut lengthwise, heated and formed into a plate, cut, and then heated again to form the bowl. Only large cattle horns are suitable - we mainly use the horn of the African Zebu cattle.

The bowl fits perfectly in the hand and allows comfortable lathering of the shaving soap. 

The horn was carefully polished and is well protected against soap and water by a layer of beeswax. Moisture remaining in the soap also does not harm the bowl - however, very hot water, household cleaners, or placing it in the dishwasher or rapid drying on the heater or with a hairdryer should be avoided (especially if cleaning the bowl becomes necessary).

 

Horn has a very pleasant feel - after all, the material has the same origin as our own skin.

 

Each bowl is unique, as the horn always has individual grain patterns. 

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

Diameter of upper edge: approx. 100 mm

Usable depth: approx. 40 mm
