What bowl is that?
That is a Captain’s Choice aquamarine copper bowl.
You are in for a treat. The Zenith boar knots work amazingly well with MWF. I use a Razorock Blondie Boar that is a rebranded Zenith 80N. Place my dry MWF puck in a 4" deep container where, after soaking the brush in warm water for a couple of minutes, I load/build protolather right on the dry puck for a minute or so and then face lather. Pulls about 2 grams off the puck so I typicall need to add small amounts of water while face lathering to get the ideal consistency and slickness for a nice luxurious shave.

Thank you. Just saw a picture of the B29 with the Blue Resin handle it looks great! Slightly shorter loft than my 80N should be a bit scritchier (if this is a word) and even more effective with MWF. You are right that these boars hold a lot more water than the synthetics and also pull a lot more soap. Definitely best for hard soaps. Enjoy, you should get a lot of great use from this brush.
