What is The Best Shaving Mug or Bowl

By  | 

Edwin Jagger Porcelain Shaving Soap Bowl With HandleBuying a shaving bowl should not be that complicated, the basics are too simple but we shall look into that later. If this is your first time to wet shave, I’m sure you’re wondering why you need a shaving bowl or mug. The answer is simple, shaving bowls / mugs are used to melt down / mix shaving soap / cream. By default, saving soap is solid in nature, so there is no way you can apply it on your beards when it’s in its solid state, that is to why you need a good shaving bowl / mug to melt it down and then use a good badger shaving brush to lather up.

CHOOSING A SHAVING BOWL:

  • Depth of the bowl: – When shopping for a shaving bowl, you have to consider the depth of the bowl; it has to be deep enough to hold enough shaving soap.
  • Width: – The width of that shaving bowl is supposed to be moderate, because you will always dump that shaving brush in and out as you’re lathering up.
  • Make:- We have three types of shaving bowls and these include; wooden bowls , stainless steel bowls and ceramic bowls. Now what you have to note is that stainless steel bowls heat up very fast so your shaving soap will melt in no minute, ceramic bowls take long to heat up but they keep heat for a longer time than stainless steel bowls, Wooden bowls heat up very fast but they don’t retain heat for so long.
