This week I received the Saponificio Varesino lathering bowl. It's a unique design that includes a removable handle, textured finish with a domed-divot-ed center piece designed to aid in making lather. I whipped up a batch of SV's Tundra Artica and quickly had very creamy, beautiful lather- undoubtedly the best lather I've seen. It's very light and is easy to hold while lathering. And it looks great in the bathroom....a shaving grail. I usually face lather but will be definitely including this bowl and it's wonderful lather into my shaves.
Handle in ash wood (walnut coloured), cup in alder wood (black coloured). 100% Hand Made in Italy Inner diameter of the cup: 113 mm Total height including handle and cup: 123 mm
I dunno....I think I'd be constantly afraid it would tip over.... It reminds me a bit about the Antiga Barberia bowl a bit though which I rather like and can be had for $30 shipped.
I love that bowl, someone posted it a while back and I mentioned the elegant simplicity it had. Was that you?
