Very nice, Arthur!
I will now be on the lookout for similar styled bowls whenever I go to thrift stores. When I watch British TV shows, I always hear them referred to as charity shops.

Prep: Hot shower and Neutrogena face wash
Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable
Blade: Gillette 7 O'clock Super Platinum (5)
Bowl: Freshly printed Rogerquin Design lather bowl
Brush: 26mm Maggards Black and White synthetic
Soap: Stirling Scots Pine sheep
ASB: The Fuzzy Duck Ginger and Lime
AS: Pinaud Citrus Must

I ventured away from a few of my norms with a new bowl, The Fuzzy Duck balm, and the Pinaud AS this morning for a rather enjoyable shave. The bowl worked really well and produced a great amount of nice thick lather but was a little larger than I would like. This was the large size and there is also a medium and XL. I think I will start a medium tonight and give it a try on my next shave. The balm was certainly a change from the Nivea I usually used. This stuff was almost like a lotion but it felt great on my skin and was complimented very nicely by the Pinaud Citrus Musk. All combined was definitely a winning combination to remember.

 

awesome psycho tech and pic Jorge..

That's a nicer knot on that Duke than I am used to seeing with the newer Simpsons. How old is that, Andrew?

An English Gentlemen's Relish Company sold their product in various Ceramic Bowls with a large selection of sizes and designs.
Got my bowl from eBay after being enabled by a few UK forum members.
