    RyX DoH!

    Doug, this is my #2 favorite. I have another the same diameter, slightly deeper, with sides that are closer to vertical in a white ceramic finish. It holds and contains lather just a little better. My first dish was smaller and didn't have the symmetrical pattern of the two I use now. The textured bottoms are good for smearing in a soap sample. I wet my brushes in them prior to making lather, dump the water out of the bowl and the remaining dampness is nearly enough to hydrate most every time. The textured unglazed ceramic also seems to help incorporating air into the soap/water mix.
    Both my current suribachi I received in a trade with John @Sparrow. These are the real deal from Osaka, Japan.

    Dan, good looking #195! I've tried half a dozen different Fat Boys - the E-4 have shaved the best in side by side comparisons. Slap a Feather in it and crank it up to setting Neal!

    Nothing has changed since yesterday in this setup. Sorry, you've seen the picture already, but I'll put it up again. Two passes, touch up, BBS, smooth, fantastic lather, great feel, quiet alum. What more needs to be said?!

    Still traveling and have had a few more shaves with the C3/Swedish Stainless blades. Absolutely top notch shave. Sticking with the two pass XTG/ATG combo. Same shave quality as my traditional three pass but quicker and weepers are rare. :happy036:

    Happy shaving - Karl

    Not my favourite SE but it is the prettiest and it performed admirably today, a fuss free DFS was the result.
    But, the star of the show was the Pitralon, it leaves the skin feeling as good as Floid or Cella and has a great citrussy, herby, piney smell*. What more can you ask for?
    *Now you can see why I normally don't describe scents :love029:
