    Pretty much anything can be used as a shaving bowl, even a cupped hand or the side of a sink. (We all just prefer fancy eye-candy stuff)

    a nice walk in the woods helps me relax and relieves tension....

    the fact i'm dragging a shovel and a body should be irrelevant...

    Yep, it's a mortar and pestle with a wooden pestle. From the look of it, it would make a fine lathering bowl.

    Good move! Looks like the side walls are steep enough for good lathering without spillage. Nice score
    What? Over? Did you say "Over"? Nothing is over, until we decide it is!

    looks like that little indent may be a nice resting sport for brushes when you are shaving.

    i like it, butterscotch too!

    Absolutely. It has nice depth and width. Should help make good lather.

    Nice! I'd use it for sure. Since it lacks a handle, you might want to experiment w/ how you hold it/where you sit it to do your lathering. Rounded bowl + slick soap + wet hands could equal heartbreak. :)

    I think that bowl (mortar) would work great for shaving and the pestle is good for smacking your kid in the back of the head when he acts like a moron.

    Seriously, great find. That bowl will be a nice addition to the bathroom.

    If you use really dense creams like CF, you could use the pestle for crushing up the snurdle to make it lather faster.
