Edwin Jagger Porcelain Shaving Bowl with Handle (Ebony-Black)

Tamaño ideal. Si dejas remojando la brocha en agua caliente y generas la espuma con el tazón caliente conserva excelente la temperatura tibia de la espuma. Fácil de limpiar.

Purchased bowl when started to shave with safety blades. Thought I really needed this for the soap. After awhile the gears slowly started to turn and realized the soaps I want to try come in a container. I am probably violating some unwritten shaving law that only a heathen would use the soap container as the bowl. Would recommend putting the cost of the bowl towards the cost of a really good brush. This bowl is well made, easy to clean, and just the right size for my hands.

Dopo aver provato diverse ciotole per montare la schiuma penso di aver trovato quella più adatta a me. Il colore è elegante e sul mobile del bagno fa una bella figura ma oltre a questo ha quattro caratteristiche che mi hanno decisamente convinto: - è in porcellana e, scaldata a dovere, mantiene bene la temperatura - il manico è veramente comodo - il fondo non è piatto ma ha, passatemi il termine, delle costole (tre) che aiutano a incorporare aria - dimensione perfetta (non è enorme ma nemmeno piccola quindi niente schiuma che straborda durante il montaggio) La crema da barba si monta benissimo! Viene spedita avvolta in una carta bianca protettiva e inserita in una scatola di cartone ben fatta e curata. E' anche presente un foglietto col "quality check" Consiglio questo prodotto anche se non troppo economico (pagato 17.77 euro)

El tamaño es correcto para su función, sin olvidar que personalmente me parece muy bonito y, no queda nada mal en el baño. Ha llegado correctamente tanto el empaquetado como el dia fijado.

I use this mug with every shave, first to soak my brush and then to whip up my lather. I don't keep a soap stored in it; rather, I load the wet brush from a separate bowl containing whichever soap I'm using, then transfer the brush to this mug. I have found this to be very handy in creating a great, thick, creamy lather, because it has little ridges at the bottom which help to incorporate air into the soap. Also, it retains heat fairly well; I fill it with hot water to soak my brush, then place it in the sink, also filled with hot water. By the time I get out of the shower, the brush is softened and the ceramic mug is pretty well heated. I have often found (though not every time) that by the time I get to my 3rd pass, the lather is still warm! I also love the handle on this thing. You can hold it by the convenient handle, or the bottom of the mug in the palm of your hand;either way is comfortable and easy to do. I am always very careful when handling it, but I know from experience that it is very well constructed and sturdy. While I have never dropped it, per se, there was one time I was getting ready to shave and was getting all of the various gear and items out of my wardrobe in preparation. My wife was asleep on the bed, but angled from one corner at the top of the bed to the opposite corner on the foot of the bed, leaving me a nice space to pile up my shaving gear as I picked out my soap. Well... my wife stirred in her sleep and kicked the mug right off the bed, I should add we have a VERY high bed, down to the hardwood floor. I panicked and picked up the razors, soaps and my beautiful mug; while one of my razors busted into two pieces, the mug was perfectly fine! There wasn't a chip, scratch or crack anywhere in the thing! It had survived a 3 foot drop onto a very hard hardwood floor and didn't have any damage whatsoever. While I would not advise testing its durability like I did, I can tell you that it is of a very sturdy, quality porcelain construction. I should also add that this piece was smaller than I was expecting. I was a little disappointed at first, expecting some giant thing. I have found after using it for the last 6 months that it is the perfect size; easy to hold, doesn't take up too much space in the cabinet and small enough to pack for a trip, which I have often done. Lastly, this is a beautiful piece. It's a very deep, inky, ebony black. It's shape is attractive, while at the same time very utilitarian; it feels like it was made to fit specifically in MY hand! The fit and finish of it is beautiful, as all Edwin Jagger products are. This is truly a piece that could last a lifetime and more. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a great shaving mug. There are cheaper ones out on the market, but I doubt that anything less expensive than this would have survived the fall from my bed; so in my mind, this was money well spent.
