Timeless has their famous lather bowl also in gray now. Nice.
Interesting, I completely missed that. Live and learn, thanks!I just bought one from Maggard’s. They carry a black one too, exclusive to them I think.
It is unbreakable, durable, affordable, and ergonomic. Quite perfect for some.Why on earth would they put a cheap plastic piece of junk like this in their dens?
I fill mine with hot water and dip the brush in it while I face lather, when I’m done shaving the ridges help to rinse the brush and when rinsing the brush. Also great for cleaning brushes too. My GF took my blue one to clean her makeup brushes so I bought a grey one. It has its purposes.After being a member of this site for .......I dont know.........4 months?
I see many members here with very nice razors. Some of the straight razors are works of Art.
They have shave dens with different exotic soaps and fragrances. Take pride in the prestigious pieces they have collected over the years.

Yes I probably sound like a snob. I'm really not a snob but I just don't understand why one would spend a couple hundred dollars or more for a nice razor and then follow it up with a cheap piece of garbage like this whose true worth is about 25 cents. Bottom line, it's ugly. I would beat somebody with a stick if they tried to sneak that into my shave den.
There are some very nice bowls out there that can be had for very little money that add beauty and interest to your shave dens,,,,,,,,,this bowl is not one of them.
White isn't ideal for judging lather as it is being built because it offers too little contrast.It is unbreakable, durable, affordable, and ergonomic. Quite perfect for some.
Surely not the prettiest bowl, but works great.
I pifed mine because I´m a face-latherer.
IMO in white it would have been prettier.
The Tupperware bowl may work, but has a flimsy feel. While the thick walls and the fat ridges of the Timeless makes it very rugged. There is some cool factor in it. Think of it as the G-Shock of bowls!A plain old Tupperware bowl works great too.
I mean, I get what you're saying though.

AA,For this alone I ordered one! It came yesterday.
I already had a unique lather bowl, my "left-handed UFO salvage bowl." Below:
But. Variety is the spice of life. You wouldn't shave with one soap would you? (j/k, some do).
As noted, it's not art. It may even look like a pipe cover of some sort. However, this thing builds lather like a demon and opened my eyes that my flattish UFO bowl (or ANY bowl) could benefit from higher sides.
Feels just great in-hand. It's an odd plastic for sure. Both hard and soft. Soft to touch, hard inside? Like tempered steel, perhaps.
There's your cool factor and now it matches the (ahem) Timeless Ti razor setup.
And if LOTH complains ...
"Bowl? What bowl? That's a razor STAND. Totally different."

AA,
Looks great! The gray is very nice. I like!
Darn right!They're not getting off that cheap!
Darn right!
By the way, I ordered the gray bowl too but have been traveling so haven't been home to receive it yet. I'm traveling with the blue bowl.
nice bowl, @Ad Astra !
