AMAZING!
This is, by a long shot, the best lather bowl I've ever used!  This bowl has caused my mug and scuttle to sit and gather dust for months now.<br /><br />The top (blue) portion is smooth and shiny.  The brown portion is more natural in texture with beautiful blue speckles of the color from the top of the bowl.  The dimples and texture in the bowl make it INSANELY perfect for building a lather.  I used to build a lather for 1-2 minutes when shaving, now it's odd if I build a lather for more than 30 seconds when using this bowl.  The thickness holds heat well if you soak it in a sink of hot water while soaking your brush.<br /><br />I really appreciate the craftsmanship.  From the dimples created with fingers to the name signed on the bottom.<br /><br />Support smaller businesses while getting the product of a fine craftsman not pushing bulk!
