Ceramic Textured Shaving Bowl – Shave Soap & Shaving Cream Dish, Textured for Rich Lather (White)

Exactly what was expected and perfect for my soaps for shaving.

Well, my last shaving bowl was just about perfect, except it seemed a little large for just a two-pass shave. I looked at all the reviews about this bowl being too small and yeah, was going to pass on it. Then I realized that they had a large version of the same bowl. Looked at the measurements and it looked good. Click, bought it and waited to see how it would be.Well, it's just about perfect. I like the bumps on the bottom, if not for anything, I know no-one will try to use it for anything to eat out of. Plus it really froths up my Shaving cream perfectly (Maybe those bumps do help that). I don't know if its the size or what it is but my cream seems richer and thicker then in any other bowl, I've tried so far. I'm no expert but I can tell that every shave I've had since I've gotten this bowl, has been smoother and better.

I'm new to the lathering way of shaving since I found a healthier type of shaving cream without the harmful ingredients, The ceramic bowl has a nice sturdy feel to it and feels good in the palm of your hand. It felt to be a good size to make plenty of lather even though some other reviews felt the bowl was a bit small. I gave it 4 stars because my bowl has a warped area on the bottom where it is pushed out and at that same spot on the inside it is pushed up which has the little raised areas for quick lathering a bit uneven. It's not that noticeable but I noticed it fairly quickly. Otherwise this is a great product for the price and I would recommend it to anyone in search for a nice shaving bowl.

If you like to use a shave brush to shave, you NEED this bowl. It's not cumbersome to hold while you whip up the shaving cream. It has little bumps on the bottom of the bowl to help get that lather going quickly. And it looks really classy sitting on your bathroom counter. Once in a blue moon I'll get enough bathroom time to snag this from my husband's side of the counter and I pretend like I'm a princess in a castle and this is my fine china shaving bowl. It reminds me of something you'd find in the bathroom in a suite on the Titanic.

It’s solid. Although, I wish I bought one with a handle.

I purchased the "large" version of this because I read the reviews about the size of this product and have to say that I can't even imagine how small the "regular" version of this product is. The "large" version, while OK, is still actually pretty small. With that said, after using the product, it worked ok in building a lather, but I could only give this 3 stars (meh). Maybe look around for something better.

Fragile. Only about $12 but still? There's also the question of the soap advertised along with the dish. Looks like it tapers to the shape of the bowl but it's just like a small hockey puck. Ya, check that picture out again and stop playing games with the consumer!

This is a nice looking little bowl. I originally bought this to use as a lather bowl, but after using it for a week I find it a bit too small for that purpose. I'm going use it strictly as a soap mug and pickup something else to use as a lather bowl. This will make a much nicer looking soap mug than some of the other containers I use to hold refills.
