    I finally got these wood shave bowls cleaned, applied a few coats of matte clear and added the soaps. Top row was easy, nuked and poured. L-R: Dirty Deeds Green Tweed, Love My Skin Hawaiian Sandalwood and Love My Skin Barbershop 1920's. Bottom: Vintage Williams tallow soap: grated, pressed and added hot water on top to smooth it out, pressed some more, then drained of excess water.

    I had these in back of my soaps and didn't pay attention to them. But not any more............

Bottom, L - R: American Gentlemen "Pineapple Express", American Gentlemen "Lavender", Mama Bears "Obsessed" (Calvin Klein Obsession).

    I like vintage shave bowls. They look so much better than metal tins.

    Not exactly new shave bowls, just moving a couple of soaps around. The original bowl for the Monsavon is pretty flimsy, so I transferred it to the jar that originally had Vin Yulay "When October Goes" because I wanted one that had a screw top. And the Vin Yulay soap went into a Proraso container. And then I printed up the labels from images on the net and put them on. Using clear packing tape to protect them.............
