Unique in Our Dens

[Scuttlesoap]

My entries for today - I supported several Army hospitals on deployment - so when I saw these, I had to grab them- they were described as a Medical Corps shaving mug and shaving bowl…I did modify the bowl to add some glass stones to add agitation when I bowl lather…

This used to be in the den, now on display in the shop. A packable shave den with milkglass soap holder/bowl silvered mirror and brush holder. Circa late 1800’s -1910’s and folds up to place in a saddlebag. Was also told it could be WWI issue as a GI pack for the field

Wow that’s really cool @BarberDave ! Pretty cool that you have it on display at the shop now. My barber just has his walls plastered with Philly sports memorabilia haha!

Love the green color

It was made by Dave's wife (Yes, another DAVE ) who lives on the other side of Toronto from me. He's closed up his small hobby shop for a few years now , but made some nice stuff when he was active (Vetiver Paradisi soap immediately come to mind).

I actually used both of my most unique items in my first video.

Delta Echo treated Sun Devil Slim and my Sparky Synthetic brush that was made by a UofA fan (Derek @ WildWestBrushWorks)

Not sure if I love it or hate it. Maybe if you wear a zoot suit while you shave?

I have that same one Barber Dave. When I purchased it from an antique store, it was in pretty rough shape. Had a lot of rust on it so I cleaned it up and gave it a fresh coat of paint. Unsure what the original color was but mine is now Black and Red.
