Shaving Soap Bowls & Cigar Boxes

[lillybella]

I'm looking for inexpensive shaving bowls & cigar boxes for shaving kits?

Anyone know any good places to look?

I really like the black plastic salsa bowls from the dollar store but they don't have a lid. Otherwise, a wide shallow plastic tub like hand cream come in would work good. Most soap supply companies have different plastic containers.

Thank you Obsidian :razz:

I'm really looking for wood, metal and ceramic.

Any ideas?

Here's a neat wooden bowl I was thinking of using, not for shaving soap, but now you have me thinking.

Very nice - Thank you JustBeachy :razz:

Also google cigar boxes and some links pop up with all sorts of used cigar boxes. Hope you find what you're looking for.

I have tried that but I'm not sure of the quality.

Has anyone bought any of these cigar boxes on google?

I haven't bought any cigar boxes online, but I found one for my shaving kits at a thrift store for $1.99. It did take me a while to find one just the right height for the mug, though.

I went to a local potter's shop for my shaving mugs. Spent more than I would've liked, but I wanted to keep things local and handmade.

Find a cigar shop near you and see if they have any boxes they are willing to give away or sell.

What a great idea, Seawolf!

I don't think they even have cigar stores anymore!

Thanks, lillybella!

And I like Seawolf's idea too. Might have to try that next time.
