So I'll start here is mine. It is Stone ware (soup bowl)

Here is mine. My sister made it when in college at Ohio U. She has a degree in fine arts. I found it in her flower bed one day. She was using it to water toads??? I took it and love it.

I have tried these versions.
Right now I'm very pleased that beige one where the brush is. Great size and great verges.
The one which is in the back is my proto to glued two cheaps together to help to keep the lather warm. It works but is a little bit too big and heavy.
Right now I'm more interested to do honing, stropping, polishing blades etc. but definately in the future want to try more bowls.

I use this one: Old Traditional Shave mug, weiss The Different Scent:. Someone has put a lot of thought into this bowl, as it simply does everything right: spiral groove in the bottom, a handle to hold the bowl in your hand and fixate it with your thumb, slanted rim. If only it did not look so rural...

Chocolate fondue bowl! :eek:
Using a tealight in the stand doesn't work too well for keeping lather warm*, but putting it all in a sink of hot water works perfectly.
(* Or rather it works too well, boiling lather is unlikely to be good.)
Wow, them some nice bowls.
Here is my bowl My cake holder is in there too. container is great for cream but messy for uberlather.
Here's my Georgetown Pottery scuttle:

I bought a pair of these for $2 at an antique store last weekend. I quite like the handle.
Here's one of mine. Spalted maple set made by yours truly.
Tony, is that a nicely marbled filet mignon in the black bowl?:thinking:Quote:
