Ok, Wayne, spill the beans, what are your ideas? I've be mulling over a few myself. These are them...

• upside-down cup handle, so thumb goes through it when cupping the bowl in your palm
• slight inward curve of the lip at the top to help prevent lather escape
• flat bottom on inside of about the size of a 50p coin which has very fine (maybe 2mm width) circular groves. These would be used to allow soft soap to be pressed in and give traction to the soap and prevent it running around the bowl when lathering. One of my pet peeves is scraping a blob of soap out and placing it into the lather bowl only to loose it somewhere in the lather.

Had a stroll down to the delivery office to pick this up, I think its a Type N.
It came with a cartridge of Twin blades, I just wanted to check these are safe to use?
I.e stainless not carbon.

Still waiting on the Damaskeene (myHermes ) but do have these to play with... I think the metal cased one is earlier production, build quality would certainly suggest so, the later head has slightly better plating thickness but the handle on the earlier one has better defined knurling.

Delivery from Shave Lounge, excellent service as always.

The SV brush is absolutely beautiful, feels great in hand and has a very nice weight to it. I'm looking forward to putting it through its paces sometime this weekend or early next week.
