I was wondering if that can dmg the brush because the inside looks rough.?lots of brushes and razors to choose from, but there does'nt seem to be a lot of choice when it comes to shaving bowls of a decent size,plenty of the mass produced ones on the various sales sites, but not ones that particularly appeal to me, i like some i see on Etsy, in fact i bought my black hand made one from Etsy, and i have another that i really like saved in my basket, have any of you guys got any good shaving bowls(not from the mass produced range) but something unusual and different

so far so good,ive been using mines a few weeks now,because of the rotation i dont think I've used the same brush twice yet though,but the(dont know what to call it)textured interior ?,doesnt seem too sharp that it would cause any brush damage though,only time will tell

although there are a couple from USA that i like the postage makes them very expensive, the grey one i'm waiting on is from Latvia the post was reasonable for that one, and the Steve woodhead ones the post is reasonable and the bowls themselves are great value and quality, so the best option
I’ve liked them, yes. I’m curious: what are the bowls in the US do you like?although there are a couple from USA that i like the postage makes them very expensive, the grey one i'm waiting on is from Latvia the post was reasonable for that one, and the Steve woodhead ones the post is reasonable and the bowls themselves are great value and quality, so the best option
Timeless make a very good and inexpensive unbreakable bowl.

i notice when people make their own coconut bowls they tend to throw the top part away, now if you also cut the top part of the top part(so to speak) off and dispose of thati actually contemplated making my own coconut shell one
then you actually have a stand for your bowl part

I am using the larger Viking Chairman stainless steel bowl. It has a textured surface both inside and out. It seems to help with creating a lather more quickly as well keeping it from slipping from lather coated hands. It won't break and matches my Rockwell 6S. I used it with cream when I first got it and the brush handle beat against the sides making a clanging sound. Once I put my D.R. Harris soap puck into the bowl it was perfect. If you prefer to use cream get the smaller size bowl.

the brush didn't come with the bowl, it's just to give an idea of sizemy latest bowl arrived from Latvia today
Captains Choice is the perfect bowl for me. It's the right size for my hand, it's the perfect depth (Timeless is too deep), and the ridges whip up lather in seconds.
