In the James Bond novel On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Ian Fleming mentions Eucris, a fragrance by Geo. F. Trumper, the gentleman's barbers and perfumers of London, and it recently was discovered that in the movie SkyFall, James Bond is probably using Geo. F. Trumper Eucris shaving soap and shaving brush.
James Bond likes to do certain things the old-fashioned way, including shaving with a 'cut-throat razor' and getting soap from a wooden shaving bowl. In SkyFall (2012) we see Bond using a wooden shaving bowl and brush and razor blade.
A wooden shaving bowl is used to hold shaving soap. With a brush, the soap is then applied to the face before shaving.
