Good shave, comfortable. Trying the custom brush today. On the test lathers the knot shed quite a lot of hairs :-/. This will be the 10th or so lathering for it and it looks to have calmed down with the shedding, fingers crossed :icon_rolleyes:

Very easy shave tonight. You can see why these R89's have such a good reputation.
Now, the question is what do I sell to raise funds for another Woodhead bowl? Wee Scott? One of my two Parats? Bar of Klar Kabinett? Hmm, more pondering required!
Paul,
If you're prone to dropping things then I can recommend this: http://www.aesop.com/uk/stainless-steel-bowl.html?utm_source=product_listing_ad&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=UK-Adwords&utm_term=aesop-stainless-steel-bowl&gclid=CIWxlMLU_bsCFYJP3godDA0A9w
A good size, nicely made and unbreakable (within domestic constraints!!!) Paul
Just replaced my soup bowl for one of Steve Woodheads bowls, wished I had done it a long time ago. As you pointed out, the ridges really make it easy to create a lather. Combine this with a good soap and its easy to produce an explosion of lather, probably enough to shave the wife, kids and dog with one whip up!Tall_Paul said:p.b said:Tall_Paul said:MONDAY EVENING

Thanks Paul
Unfortunately the Woodhead pedestal bowl is ridged which makes creating great lather really easy. Another will have to be purchased at some point!
