Large Blue Grip Pottery Shaving Bowl for Men

This lathering bowl is excellent. I purchased the large lather bowl with just the top portion glazed. The non-glazed portion outside provided great grip, even while using it in the shower. The inside portion that is non-glazed had the texture needed to help provide quick lathering.Also, the inside had a 3D spiral in the bottom. I smear my croap (cream-soap) there for whisking with my shave brush. The sides interior of the bowl has kind of a flat and angled shape. Similar to an octagon, etc. This also allows great lathering.Overall, this is an amazing hand made artisanal shave bowl that has all the bells and whistles. I will be buying another one to ship to my brother as a surprise!FYI: I use Wet Shaving Products (WSP) Formula T shaving cream, a DE Razor, and the Big Bruce synthetic brush.
