Maggards shave bowl

I got one of the new Maggards Fine Lather bowls and have really been enjoying it lately! Lather seems to form quicker and more consistently. I like the wider surface and lower rim to whip up a nice lather w/o hitting the sides of my other taller, narrower bowl. The ribs do seem to work well! The handle/brush holder works well, too. Just wish I got the blue one; the black was OOS when I got mine and the only other color was the red one. Definitely getting a blue one with my next order; always good to have a spare!

Drop us a pic when you can,,,, lately I have been eyeing bowls,,,

My bowls are from Salvation Army thrift store at 25 cents each! Might check Maggards.

I have a deeper, narrower bowl from before and I always hit the side of the bowl with my fingers or the brush handle when whipping up the lather, so the shorter and wider bowl seems to work much better for me. Lathering seems to go much quicker with the new bowl as well.

w
What is the bowl made of ?

It's a stoneware type bowl, so I guess ceramic pottery?

Very interesting design..

If you are ordering the bowl you might pick up some Fine Aftershave samples as well. They are nice fragrances with a great cooling effect.

I've had the black and grey one for about a week now. I like it very much. Appropriately sized, makes good lather and the like the little brush rest solves a problem for me.

The StaticHole technology is a real breakthrough, too. Don't know what I ever did without it!!

You can look HERE for more photos from the designer.

I think the StaticHole is the key. None of my other bowls have that.

Yeah, I just put mine down on the floor under the sink when I am done, so the Static Hole doesn't excite me! I do like the rest of the bowl though!

You're not maximizing the potential of the lather bowl, then. Use the technology, feel the power!

Mine just arrived.
I ordered it directly from Fine along with some after shave.
Gonna try it out in the morning!

THe static hole thing just hangs it, yes? Or is there some other magic? thanks

The magic behind the static hole is that it allows you to hang the bowl up and off of the counter top.

The StaticHole allows you to get some cool drip patterns down your wall or on your floor.

Specialty Bottle - Plastic Jars
These are handy, cheap but not cheaply made....come in 3 colors for the jar about the size of a standard puck. No StaticHoles but they do stack neatly.

And thus, the bowl has a handle with a hole that accommodates a hook that allows the bowl to be suspended from the hook on a wall in a static (unmoving) position.

Magic static position.........it's unreal.

My bowl is a stainless steel cat food dish from Wal Mart - 75 cents. Maybe I should open my mind up a bit.

You should! This bowl makes lather fast and easy. It's not that expensive at $25, compared to the G20 at $60.

I made lather fast and easy by holding a puck in my hand once. Note: the G20 is a scuttle, that's like comparing your hand to a stainless steel cat food dish.

Maybe just a little,,,,,,,,,,,,:D

The static hole is to hang the bowl off the counter top so you don't receive static from SWIMBO.
