Shaving Soap Sets

[Soapmaker Man]

Two weeks ago, a repeat customer wanted me to refill his two wooden Crabtree & Evelyn Shaving Soap bowls with a recipe I had put together. I found one online wholesale seller of boar, badger shaving brushes and bowls, but here is my question;

Where do you guys recommend is a good place to purchase decent quality brushes and preferably wood soap dishes? Thanks gang! :wink: 8)

Years and years ago (at least ten) I bought some at From Nature With Love. I just looked to see if they had them. They don't have bowls, but the brushes still look the same. It looks like they are doing away with a lot of their line tho, and the brushes are on clearance right now heres one link, but they have five to choose from

Thank you, Healinya! 8) I an looking at the Pendergrass site, but they are always out of stock.

I have 6 of the pendergrass sets (wooden bowl with lid and brush) out in the garage that you are welcome to. I bought them as a part of a co-op but didn't end up using them. PM me if you want these 6.

Thanks carebear. I will get you a PM. I appreciate the assistance.

Well stated carebear! 8) Thanks again. I want to try a few sets and use the recipe I put together for my customer. I used Kaolin clay in it. I like the feel of Kaolin. I even made a Oatmeal, Milk & Honey, a 42 ounce batch, and added a tablespoon to it.

Check out The Art of Shaving. They have some high end brushes that are really nice and last a long time.

Carebear: I'd take one of those sets if you're looking to get rid of them.

whatever Paul doesn't need I'll pass on to the next. I've only been working on cleaning out that garage since I moved in. 2 years ago.

I bought mine at fromnaturewithlove.com

Had a conversation with a customer about those cheapy brushes. I use one when I shave my legs, & I find it to be quite adequate. My customer bought one of my cheapy brushes & informed me that he'd been wet shaving since forever, had bought the expensive brushes, but went back to the cheapies. He said they last just as long & do just as good a job.
