“A man may gladly let his hands suffice as a cup if he's parched near death,” Col Conk once reflected.

“In more agreeable times, he pays mind to what he uses as a vessel.”

Working up one of our Shave Creams or Shave Soaps requires a suitable receptacle.

It should be sturdy.

It should be wide mouthed.

It should be deep enough to whip up a man-size lather, but not cavernous.

It should be held according to the preference of the shaver, whether that means a cup handle, knob or none at all, as with a bowl to rest securely in the palm.

It should be capable of fitting in with any décor and space.
