I have a flat-bottomed, polished stainless steel bowl that I like for lathering.
Everyone says that a textured surface works better than a polished surface to create lather. Here are some techniques I'm mulling over and would like your opinions please:
Everyone says that a textured surface works better than a polished surface to create lather. Here are some techniques I'm mulling over and would like your opinions please:
1)sandblasting or electro-etching...easy, cute, but I'm not sure if it would create a worthwhile difference in texture for lathering purposes
2)doodling with a Dremel, either with a pointed stone or cut-off disk
3)round off a bolt and try to peen the bottom surface...though it is thick, and I'm not certain I could make sufficiently deep dents
4)using a 1/2" cold chisel just to the flat bottom surface...probably will look awful
If you have other ideas, or if you think the benefit to be too minimal to be worthwhile, please let me know!2)doodling with a Dremel, either with a pointed stone or cut-off disk
