Thread: How about a mug?

Gentlemen,
I purchased that Turkish copper mug a couple years ago from Best Shaves, the Turkish site, and used it a few times. It is quite handsome as well as a conversation piece. If you expect a heavy copper mug, it is not; rather, it is thin and light. It works, though, and I'm sure you'll enjoy using it. A few months ago I passed it on to a friend here in town. Good stuff.

I gave it a run this morning and I have to say it was stellar. I ran the hot water in the sink and filled it letting it sit while I walked the dogs. Dropped in the brush while I gathered everything then dumped out most except for the very bottom where I left just enough to work the lather and it worked like a champ. Probably the best lather I have ever made to be honest. I thoroughly enjoyed it too breaking out the Wade & Butcher I got back from a hone that another SRP member cosperryan had recently finished up for me. He was not lying when he said that W&B shaves like a dream too. Enough about my shave porn.. hope everyone enjoyed the bowl. I spoke to the person I bought it from and he mentioned there was a smaller version the craftsman had made and I had him snap one of those up for me too and bought it for travel. I'll post that one up when it arrives.

Agreed, it is not a heavy bowl/mug at all but a very fine piece of work and I rather like it that way as too heavy would make it seem like cookware to me.

I stole this from the Ol' Ladies kitchen. When she discovered it, I had to explain why it could not be used for food anymore.

She was not to thrilled with me that day.
