I have a "fine lathering bowl" and it works very well indeed, but you could just use any old bowl in the meantime. What type of dish are you after, plastic, wood, ceramic? Loads to chose from.Hi everyone.
I have now acquired my new razor the Merkhur 34c and shaving brush Omega pro 49.
My next requirements are a shaving bowl and soap dish.
Can someone point me in the right direction with regards to these items please.
I would like a soap dish primarily for the reason to just buy the pucks. My theory being is maybe I can purchase more products as apposed to more dishes. (if that makes sense)
Finally, from what I have been reading it seems to make sense to get a decent bowl that aids lathering. A technique I have yet to try.
If anyone has any of these items for sale or can advise me on what to buy, then please give me a shout and thank you in advance for your time.
Take care all,
Wayne
Thank you all for your responses.
I think a ceramic bowl would hit the button with me. The Suribachi bowl looks the dogs doolies.
At the moment I could use a very large coffee cup with handle. (On the provision the wife doesn't notice)
It would perhaps do the trick for the time being.
Off to the shops now to buy some goodies.
I'm waiting on the same one - last us know your thoughts on it's please after you've given it a try.
I like to think that the textured surface of the suribachi helps with the production of a nice, thick, slick lather. Maybe not, but I still like the look/feel of it.
I've been using the Aesop stainless steel bowl as used by @Merkurologist (post #10) for months but there were a few things I didn't like. I really wanted a handle as the bowl can be very slippery, the soap kept going over the sides and didn't retain any heat.
I did look at the Fine bowl but but I wasn't 100% sold on the size and looks.
I ended up contacting Victoria from Little Wren Pottery https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/LittleWrenPottery
I'd seen her work via a couple of members on here including @wayne mattison
I gave her a brief description of what I was after and she came back to me with a price and time scale. £10.00 for a custom bowl, plus £6.99 P&P and a 4 week turn around. The bowls perfect, the packaging was excellent and she was bag on the despatch date. What's not to love?
