I’m contemplating the dark brown...Yes this is the terracotta
I think black white or lime might be more attractive though. Material does not feel cheap but it doesn’t look expensive. Plastic looks a bit like re used plastic. Wish they added some sparkling flakes in there. And they should have given it a silicone bottom ring to prevent slipping on smooth surfaces. Still happy with it since it performs even better as my granite mortar. Did not check heat retention though.
This is a quality built razor and for me would be too heavy and long to use as a travel razor. I am a Silver Blue fan and found the KCG blade to surpass those atleast in this razor. I have not tried the blades in a different razor yet.Did not yet try if the razor is a like any blade thing which would make it a great cheap travel razor. If you like the kcg blades try to find Gillette platinum light blue for me it’s twin with another name.
The swirls which should give it a more natural effect simply reminds me of recycled plastic. No idea if dark brown or grey lessens the effect.I’m contemplating the dark brown...
I have used them in my futul instead of a gsb and they are very nice. And the futul is pickyThis is a quality built razor and for me would be too heavy and long to use as a travel razor.

No offense, but the color of the bowl looks like the drainpipes that they use in my neck of the woods...The swirls which should give it a more natural effect simply reminds me of recycled plastic. No idea if dark brown or grey lessens the effect.
Unfortunately brick (rofl at least that of my 1895 house) is a lot more red.No offense, but the color of the bowl looks like the drainpipes that they use in my neck of the woods...
On Pereiras site it looks more reddish like brick.
AZ is your friend Silicon lidsUnfortunately brick (rofl at least that of my 1895 house) is a lot more red.
and I am not offended I was having my doubt on the color also. But it is no reason to send it back for me. Most important it lathers quick and cleans quick.
wish they made a travel lid for it so you could use It as storage. With the brush u it is long enough for a long razor handle. And wide enough for brushes some soap blades etc.
still a lot prettier as that polypropylene which paa used in the scuttle

@linty1
As a lather machine the Pereira ticks almost all the boxes!
Easy to lather
Easy to hold
Easy to clean
Easy to dry
Lightweight
Unbreakable
Handy thump brush holder.
No chance of damage to furniture flooring or feet due to usage or dropping.
Could not try heat retention that is for tomorrow I guess.
lesser points/nitpicking
the red/orange material is not so pretty but it is not bad either.
I wish it had a non slip ring on the bottom to keep it steady.
I wish it had a form fitting lid to use it as a container during holidays.
Most likely I mcgyver last two points.
overall very happy with it
