I am new to wet shaving and am already hooked. I have been using a mug to whip lather in and am wanting to get a better bowl. I'm looking at the Captains Choice lather bowl and like what I see. But, is it worth the price? I do love the look and can't decide between gunmetal or cobalt (when they come back in stock!). Is it worth the plunge? I hear it really whips soaps fast, even hard soaps.
