I am currently looking primarily at the Mitchell Wool Fat and D.R. Harris hard soap ceramic tubs with one vendor in the UK (Connaught Shaving) and another in Ireland (Shaving IE). FWIW, I live in Texas, USA. I have not seen either of these items in person either so, all comments are welcome. I should also note that I generally liked the "Mason Cash" brand ceramics I have seen in person, but I don't think they make any shave-related products.
Do I have much to worry about regarding shipping and damages from either of these vendors with these ceramic tubs? I am picking up a few other items so, shipping from either vendor is not a financial concern in terms of cost.
The D.R. Harris tub appears to be a bit smaller than Mitchell's Wool Fat tub, so I am leaning a little bit in that direction right now. Any other ceramic tubs I should consider before I commit to a purchase? I am receptive to other options but, I want to stay under ~$30USD and prefer to avoid Chinese-sourced products unless there is a compelling reason to go there.
TIA,
Sid
