@AlexRankin Welcome to the obsession...I mean forum. The first two shaves are supposed to be disappointing. The rest of us would hate you if they weren't. If you are seeing improvement by three, I think you are well on your way!

My wife has finally grown tired of me using one of our small ice cream bowls (deep and narrow) as a shaving bowl, so I'm scuttle shopping. I'm a bowl latherer and I'm torn between the 1.5 scuttle and a brush scuttle/lathering bowl set.

What color did you get? Got any pics?
