Can I reuse my Colonel Conk wooden shaving bowl?

[Peter Mount]

The original cake of Colonel Conk shaving soap I put in the wooden bowl is almost gone. Do I need to dry out the wooden shaving bowl before I put my other cake of Colonel Conk shaving soap in it? Or is it best I buy a new bowl? Or can I just rinse it out and put the new cake of shaving soap in it, without drying the bowl?

Thanks.

Reuse! Drop a new one in and enjoy the classy soap holder.

I had to google the bowl, thats a great looking bowl, with a lid to boot! Yes to reuse, yes to rinse it clean, dry, and plunk a new puck of conk in it. And if you fancy something else? Plunk something else in it (if it doesn't fit, grate/shave it down and squish it in) and enjoy it.

Reuse it! ABSOLUTELY!!

I've reused the plastic bowl my one cake of Col. Conk arrived in. Soap dissolves and rinses out easily -- that's part of its job description.

Why do some of us make shaving so complicated?

Of course you can reuse anything you are inclined to reuse. There are no "bowl police" watching.

I would guess OP was more concerned about possible mold or bacteria than bowl police....

Mold? Bacteria? I've wet shaved daily since November 1951, and I've never seen any mold or bacteria cooties. Not once.

Wait a second, I think I heard something...

Yes by all means reuse the bowl!

Unless you want to use it for your peanuts, sweets. The missus wants it for jewelry I would definitely hand wash and hand dry it and stick some new soap in.

No that is actually illegal

The insignia on the hat is a very nice touch; it's noticed and appreciated.

Well. Re: the question, I did have a MWF puck get moldy once ... it could happen. Pink stuff, had to scrape it off.

Stuck a Lisa's Naturals in my last empty wooden bowl. It's lacquered.

I live in a swamp. What can I tell you ... strike matches off a passing gator's head, etc.

Mold grows here reeeeellll quick-like. Things don't even have to be dead to get mold, just standing still.

That MWF stopped rolling; that was it's problem.

Col. Conk. Now which side did he fight for?

NOT re-using that bowl would make an extremely affordable and great shaving soap into an expensive and great shaving soap!

Oh dang... its the Colonel himself!
