I don't think so...I scour the web and antique shops etc for ceramic pots for shaving soap - I have around 40 now - but actual shaving soap ceramic pots are few and far between. The Boots pot in the pic is obviously an actual shaving soap pot, but my other one is just for soap...but it has Boots' address in Nottingham on the top, which is the city of my birth, so I nabbed it off eBay because of the personal connection as well as it's function
Lovely looking pot you have there.GBPot of the day...
Several tins of Blue's Goat's Milk & Animal Fats soap arrived...the tin's were most battered and beaten, which actually adds a little to their traditional look. However, as I often do, I relocated the soap into a ceramic pot: A 'Boots' soap dish.
The Blue's soap turned out to be a little bit of a revelation for me...really good lather, cushion and glide. It was what I'd hoped for based on comments from others in TSR...thanks for the heads up!
Prep: Glyce wash / Proraso White pre-shave cream
Shave: Blue's soap / Unbranded synth / EJ89/Braveheart + Nacet (1)
Post: Coal tar wash / Cold rinse + Alum / Proraso Green AS / Bulldog balm
Good shaving all!

Thanks BM...I still like fancontroller's 'King of Hearts' though.
Mmm, I prefer yours but we are all different thankfully otherwise it would be a less interesting place to be.
Well I'm going to do more 'Pot of the Day' posts...I have plenty to choose from!Mmm, I prefer yours but we are all different thankfully otherwise it would be a less interesting place to be.
Thanks for the kind words Paul! It was a great shave.
Thanks! Glad you liked it. I'm a BW newbie.An elegant shave set up..the B&W set's it off excellently. Regards.
Just to note, I complained about the state of my battered tubs of Blue's fat soap and they kindly sent me two more to keep me happy... They were still battered but they will bend over backwards to keep you happy and get good feedback.Pot of the day...

The Feather kamisori has a head cover bought separately which protects the blade should you want to keep it in the razor.
