Sure, the concept sounds pretty odd but reading the description of both the products and the company it actually sounds more and more appealing - and I really rather like the look.
Irishantverk is a small Swedish company where a lot of the products are still handmade to high standards with its roots in brush making and have provided work for visually impaired individuals in Sweden and the Baltics since the 1950's.
They have some interesting products w/in wetshaving as well, one being their shaving bowls made out of concrete;
Product description:
"Shaving cup in soft concrete with shaving soap.
Soft Concrete is a unique material, by adding a small addition of polymer (plastic) it becomes three times as elastic as normal concrete. Soft Concrete is not so soft that it can be bent, it's still a stone material but it has a pleasant feeling to it.
It feels warm, soft and comfortable. It contains no environmentally harmful substances. Soft Concrete is cast of a relatively viscous mass that causes the surface to receive a varying smoothness. And due to the irregularity color variations occurs and contributes to the vibrant impression."
Unfortunately that's about $59 - but, I do think it's really neat...and it does come with a Sandalwood soap...
