That should say "this fits mine." Somehow I got an extra word in there.I don't know what that man's "image" of a Marine is, but this fits my mine.

I am not a Marine, so maybe I am not qualified to judge, but you made a sacrifice for a fellow Marine that is what I would hope most Marines would do. Your physical condition may or may not measure up, but your character is strong (and I'd wager that your discharge was honorable). Not to dwell on the physical question, but you made it through bootcamp so you must not have been in that bad of shape. For what it's worth, I thank you for serving and am glad you are here at B&B.I was, and still am, fat especially by Marine standards. Physical appearance is huge in the Marine Corps.
Congratulations @cwright and @oldskool76 . The Captain has tons of great stuff, but if you need a recommendation, I absolutely love my copper lather bowl. It turned me into a bowl latherer after 6 years of face lathering.
That's beautiful. The Captain is Choice grade A in my book.Hi!
I’m very excited to report that my Christmas present from Captain’s Choice arrived safely the day before Christmas! This is an amazing shave bowl, and I have been loving the initial uses! A huge thanks to @Captain Pre-Capsize for his generosity at the end of what has been a hard year for so many. Stay safe and I wish you all a Happy New Year!View attachment 1201694View attachment 1201695View attachment 1201696

Agreed. VERY cool detail to me.Yeah, I would agree. The beaten copper has a great look. View attachment 1201785It’s funny, but I especially like on my bowl there is a double stamped logo which is slightly off. I feel that a little imperfection like that shows you that it was handmade.

Hey @Captain Pre-Capsize : doesn't your youtube channel have a video of the handmade bowls being crafted? I thought I saw one somewhere...(Note to self... From now on double stamp ALL logos.)
In all seriousness that happens about one in a hundred so that one is a real keeper. Once in a great while the thumb rest on the front may exhibit a slight double impression. We have pretty tight tolerances that the factory works between and we love it when some slight variations come through depending on the craftsman. Factory workers need not apply - these are made one at a time by true artisans.
Actually I went and watched the whole series yesterday. Find the first video HereHey @Captain Pre-Capsize : doesn't your youtube channel have a video of the handmade bowls being crafted? I thought I saw one somewhere...
