Shaving bowls

[cryhavoc]

This is my baby it’s a nice bowl fits snug in my hand has a nice deep browny red colour that reminds me of pottery from that area …and it lathers great I don’t need to pump or anything just swirl move back and forth over the ridges no pressure..I don’t use it half as much as I should

Nice looking bowl and I like the color too! I didn't know Omega made shaving bowls, you learn something new everyday.

I bought a plastic salsa bowl at Walmart and used it when I first started this adventure. I now only face lather but the salsa bowl gets used to soak my brush.

Yes, you can make a good lather in a variety of things - even in your favourite coffee mug !

What about the traditional way of making on one's face using a good boar brush ?!

This is how I do it 95+% of the time my friend!

Hopefully, not when the coffee mug is still half full with your best brew

Seriously, face lathering is great !

Many, many years ago (10?), someone from B&B made me a shaving bowl out of 1/2 coconut shell. Fantastic!

Okay, no problem.

I have tried several lather bowls, the one I use now is by far the best I have ever used.
It is a Captain’s Large Copper Bowl, I also place it in a little larger bowl with hot water which keeps the lather on my brush warm.

Good to see you again. It's been a long time.

I have many Ceramic bowls that I find at yard sales and thrift shops, prefer the thick heavy ones. I press my soaps in the bowls so I can puck lather, I'm finally down to three Tallow base soaps, Kilos of Vito's, Cella and Arko stick (bowl pressed) Sometimes I'll add Williams/Dove mix

Item is on it's way from Denmark - I haven't received it yet and I'll let you know.

I mostly want it to store one of my triple milled soaps.

For the time, t have shifted from my Q-Shave scuttle to this great bowl. It whips up great lather from my Cella green with either my Omega--11126 or Gray Dog brushes.

Yes, from what other users have told me it is very good .

I have thought of buying it too.

Thanks for your input.

My Fine bowl broke so on the lookout for another type. However, I thought I'd try an empty SV aluminium container. Am shocked in good way at this as a lather bowl. Masses of lather after seconds. Maybe the tin is rough, although it does seem smooth . In the past anything like smooth pottery soup bowl does not work.
