Meerschaum Care
Hold the bowl with a clean cloth, and twist the stem clockwise while pulling on it.
Bend a pipe cleaner in half, dip it in alcohol, and gently run it through the stem. Repeat, using a dry pipe cleaner. Continue alternating a wet and dry pipe cleaner until the pipe cleaner come out clean.
Wrap a pencil or dowel in emery cloth, and very gently use it to swab cake buildup out of the bowl. Repeat several times, readjusting emery cloth as needed.
Using a bent pipe cleaner, repeat Step 3, being careful not to scratch the interior of the bowl.
Dip a soft cloth in a small amount of alcohol, and swab out the bowl gently. Allow to air dry.
Moisten another soft cloth with a very small amount of shaving cream, and lightly rub it over the outside of bowl.
