What's new

show me your best shaving bowl

I love the small bowls that come in the VDH kits; they fit right in the palm of your hand perfectly. If I could find a good rugged earthenware bowl like that it would be my ideal lather bowl since the VDH ones are hit or miss as to whether or not you get a good one that won't break easily.

You should look at that famous auction site, etsy.com or muehle(mühle) web site for your wanted shaving bowl. I hope you find yor bowl.
 
Another Thuya Burl wood shave soap bowl.

"dipping" bowl from Target

Cost = 5$
Width = 4"
Depth = 2"

Works great! I do wish it was just a scosche (maybe 1/4") more shallow. But still, it works great.

Got that same bowl in blue. I set it inside a larger cafe au lait bowl filled with hot water bought at the dollar store and it works well. You're right about the depth thing, but I'm not complaining.
 
I like the bowls that come with the Gentlemens Best soaps. If I use creams I usually use my Old Spice shave mug or my shave bowl that came with my Merkur Futur set

It really works great! I let it soak in hot water while I shower and it holds the heat throughout my shave. Plus the textured interior really helps the lather whip up.

Is that Pierre Cardin cologne? That was my go to fragrance back in the day. Do they still make that? Memories......
Indeed they do! One of my favorite colognes.

That's nice! Where did you pick this up?
Thank you! I picked it up at one of my local discount department stores.. It was either at Marshall's, Ross or Stein Mart.

I've seen them at the local Bed, Bath and Beyond as well.

I used it again today actually!
