    I gave up using a shaving bowl because I think they are too small. I hate the handle of my brush banging on the side of the bowl. I also tend to make a lot of lather and with my last bowl it just climbs over the edge. I ordered and received a 5" singing bowl. This thing is big, heavy and awesome. I can finally make a lot of lather and the shape of the bowl keeps my lather from flowing over the edge. The do make them in smaller sizes, but I really wanted the big one. Now I like bowl lathering again.

    I second the scuttle suggestion. They keep the lather and brush warm for the duration of your shave.

    As I'm spending more time at home, I thought to use some of my items that sometimes skip for time, or ease of use, or..... (JUST not used alot).
    Today I used my dirty bird scuttle.
    I heated it up, and put a 1/2 inch (maybe less) stripe of Proraso blue, bombed with 3 drops of m-bomb.
    I used my Alpha 400/ silvertip, soaked and flicked dryish.
    I set the brush in the dirty bird while not in use. This made the second and third passes much warmer.
    The heated lather felt very nice.
    I used my Cadet tto14, and an Astra blade. My cadet shaves very nicely. It is rumored to be aggressive, but I like it.
    As a lather bowl, the Dirty Bird is a cadilac of a bowl, the shave was so nice, I'm gonna have to use it more often. 150_Opal_Rim_on_Black_Scuttle-1.jpeg
    Hope y'all did as well, or better.

    I looked at all the singing bowls and was amazed! "I need one of those!"

    But after a little while, the eager desire to have one , mired into sobering reality.
    Who am I kidding? Those things weigh a ton!

    Guys in their 70s are not going to sit there and spin the stick.

    Nope! Woke up this morning and had a cup of coffee. I spun my finger around the bowl and it made a sound.

    I feel much better now, so I ordered a tin of Grooming Department MELODY soap.

    Definitely I'll use that!

    Singing Bowls? Now we can get bowls that sing to us? Do I have to plug it in or does it have battery's? I'm too old for these new fangled gadgets lol

    Today my CAPTAINS CHOICE HEAVY COPPER BOWL came today and I used it tonight.
    It's everything I thought it should be! I'm very happy with my (and the Captain's) choice!!
