Shaving Bowl Round Two

[stevec]

Lidded soap dishes and if anyone wants one lathering bowls will be on offer too.

a lathering bowl for me i think, i'll keep my eyes out for a post from you about it

 

[Vyn Venal]

Yeah. I'll be in it for the lathering bowl really. Soap dish wouldn't be much use to me at the moment.

One way to rectify that, buy some soap pucks I'm doing that myself, buying soap to justify buying the soap dish

Plenty of nice hard soap pucks. My dish will house a nice cheap Van De Hagen from USA, cheap, cheerful and a great lather.

I'm sure this is a really stupid question, so feel free to mock me, but how do you know what soaps will fit in your pot?

No such thing as a stupid question, only stupid answers. I suppose if we're talking the same size bowl as MWF comes in with it's lid, then something the same size as MWF pucks. I'll measure the MWF bowl once the wife unit has arisen from her slumber and I can find my pot

We make it fit ! Brute force or enabling by softening first. A gentle warm in the microwave, or warm water. I would add though that these pits have not been microwave tested, something I can check with the potter.

Also most pucks at around the same size.

 

[Bechet]

Microwave on a plate, lift puck, fit into pot, press gently down. 10 - 20 seconds is all it needs usually - don't heat it and burn your fingers or melt the soap.

May I include myself in the 'I'll have a lathering dish' gang too please?

 

[nick_s]

As it happens, the internal width of the MWF dish is 2 1/4 inches or as near as damned it 82mm

I just put a series of bowl lathering technique videos on YouTube using my TSR bowl and it's getting some great compliments. The bowl that is, not my technique!

Makes me wonder if I should get the potter to produce a load of them and sell them on. I haven't made anything in the past and kept everything as tight as I can to keep the cost down. But on a mass basis I wouldn't want to be taking orders. As a favour to guys on the forum it's ok but anything else I'd have to make something out of it.

If you were doing it for profit it wouldn't be right to sell it as a TSR bowl though.
