that brush is beautiful, dont think that I have seen one before. Has it aged to butterscotch or is that the actual colour of the handle.
My handmade in Romania bowl

My current favorite bowl ... found at Goodwill, think it cost 50 cents. It's teak.
Actually I've been face lathering for the last few months, but wanted to try some Barrister and Mann this morning that I'd received in a trade. The bowl works great, has a little bit of wood grain in the bottom to help with lather building.

This one looks interesting. I didn't know what suribachi was until this. Looks great
Nice looking bowls
Picked this up, might be to small i dont know...
I use a salsa bowl but also this bowl from turkey
I also use the conk Santa Fe which is very good as well
I've used those for grinding but not lathering. The inside surface is pretty rough so I wouldn't use you best brush with it to start. Give it a try and let us know how it works for you.
I've thought about buying one of these because I'm sure it will whip up lather super fast and easy. The bad thing is that it's super heavy.

This one will keep heat quite nice i quess, but like said it must be heavy. I tried same kind of grinding mill earlier but did not like the weight at all because i like to spin bowl on hand when lathering
I use the aluminum bowls, with a lid, available from West Coast Shaving. This one contains a puck of Surrey--original formula--purchased at a small town pharmacy. Please excuse the torn up wall in the background, we are in the early stages of installing new sheet rock, and other remodeling in the master bathroom.

My apologies for the low light conditions of the picture.
nothing fancy just a $0.97 mug from goodwill.
its about 4" deep and 4" wide.
its about 4" deep and 4" wide.
Had a question. Would something like this be good to prepare lather...? These are easy to get here, but how would one heat it up so the lather stays warm. The bottom base is slightly different so the grip is better. I was thinking, even if hot water is poured inside and then poured out before the leather preparation, would not the marble just absorb all the heat and/or cool down the internal heat too quick, for the lather to remain warm.

i haven't used one of those but it seems like it would hold the heat. I have also heard of other guys letting the bowl sit in hot water and that maintains the lather warm
thats a lot of blades. You collect blades or buy a lot/ sell?
Just got my new Captain's Choice Lather Bowl today!
