Buyer beware...(sic)
You might think that because the shaving bowl & soap are sold together that the soap would actually fit (properly) inside the bowl, right?
Oh...I'm the only one?
The soap (which is great!) is too small in diameter so there's a 1/2" gap all the way around AND too thick, so the lid rests/sticks to the bar! Bummer.
Col. Conk does make a bigger 3" bar that would fit better...

Once I became unhappy with the purchase (thus requiring my attention/focus), I became more critical...
The bowl is just barely too big (1/4") to fit behind the mirror, which would be a nice option.
I'm considering "massaging" it with my belt-sander (& a touch of stain) to make it fit (pretty).
FYI-I also noticed, since I'm trying to return the item(s), that the shipping was more ($$) than the item.
That's why the bowl may get a "modification"...and a bigger bar of soap.

If I may suggest a great & useful alternative...

A plastic (Box Shell) bar soap travel case.
The kind we (our parents) used when traveling.
They're cheap, easy to find (locally), and come in a wide variety of colors/styles.
Epoxy a big brass upholstery tack to the inside of the Bottom-half, so that any size bar stays put.
It fits behind the mirror or can sit (covered/closed) on the counter.
It can be used in the shower, with no worries.
The Top-half can be used for a "mug", if desired/needed.

It can also travel securely with you...might be able to fit razor (disassembled?) and small brush into case, if small soap bar is attached off-center/near top of Bottom-half.
Just don't make any sudden moves if some airport x-ray screener suddenly looks panicky/excited.

That's the (engineering) result of my "unhappy" experience...

Hope this feedback/review helps in your research & decision making.
Enjoy da shave!!

Wonderful soap--smells great! The wood shave bowl is nice but I may switch to a deep dish mug or something when it's time to replace the soap. The bowl is a bit shallow. I can't knock the product though for something that may just be my preference. When I switch, I'll be keeping the bowl handy in case the mug doesn't work out.

Initial impression: nice looking, good size for a soap bowl, wife likes it, thinks it's to pretty to use as a shave bowl. Has a few rough spots on the inside, nothing major. Right now its a spare change bowl on the bedroom dresser.
