Review on QSHAVE Shaving Scuttle Mug - Handmade Pottery Cup in Large Deep Size Bowl for Warm Lather Retention (Black) by Megan Edwards

TLDR: It works but not nearly as well as advertised. give a quick explanation. It's nothing more than a way to warm up the foam you're shaving when you apply it to your face. While it may seem trivial (and I'll admit it's a first-world problem), it's also a genuinely wonderful and useful thing that makes the process of shaving very different from an everyday routine. I have never heard of it. such a bowl and was fascinated. After doing a little research I thought it might be a good idea so I gave it a try. The cost wasn't outrageous, but it wasn't exactly cheap either, especially for something that's no more than a marginal luxury. Whether you have the disposable income and time to really make the most of it is a personal choice. It won't improve the quality of your shave so much that it's almost necessary, but it's also something that really enhances the pleasure of shaving and offers some benefits. The cork is not wooden as advertised (why they don't use cork I'm a bit confused, but.). It has a silicone plug that can be pushed into the hole and is no longer removable. In any case, cork does not have enough surface area to significantly affect heat retention. Whether such things are really important to you is again very personal. I'm a strictly analog guy and plan on using an old cropped wine stopper because I like the way it looks compared to the milky white and rather ugly silicone stopper that comes with it (which probably works better). . It's amazing how this cork pops. If you're a physics geek, that alone will amuse you. End: Pretty good. I would avoid black if you have hard water (I didn't know it came in white) as it will look dirty forever unless you spend a little time wiping it down after each use. I use mine in the shower so she never has the luxury of wiping it off; just rinse. Draft. The large handle makes it easy to handle, but the slick surface, combined with slippery soap and almost certainly blurry eyes in the morning in front of the mirror or in the shower, inevitably reduces life expectancy. this product because of autumn. Of course it's pottery, so if you drop it you now have a pretty sprawling minefield of razor-sharp shards to find with your feet. If I were going to shave the Q, I'd dip the thing in a thick, grippy layer of silicone, or leave the icing on for a grippy natural texture, to help mitigate that possibility a bit. probably keeping the foam container warm, which makes your foam warm) is too small. Honestly, it would be better if you could just put the entire brush in the hole using the pin as a natural cork. This keeps the brush itself from cooling the foam (and keeps some water in the bristles if needed). The foam bowl itself is not intended for soap. You can try, but you'll find that the necessary heating with water and then rinsing breaks down the soap at an alarming rate and you're actually producing more waste than can be used later. Shame. Next comes a relief pattern of raised crests. Unfortunately, these combs are fairly low and not very defined, so while they help create lather, they're not very effective. A nice feature would be a cone at the very bottom to spread out the bristles to maximize lather and minimize waste. It works out? Spring. Yes and no. Thanks to the wide bowl and relatively small amount of water, it cools down pretty quickly. You *can* get a nice, very warm lather out of it, but you have to get it all for free and have to wait for your water to get too hot when using it in the shower (it's better to have a shower head) and we know that it takes forever to get that kind of heat out of a sink. When you reach it, it then cools down again. In practice: From my observations, the material is not suitable for it or the volume is not right to be very effective. Also, you really need a good brush that will hold some water. Using a harsh soap like I like means I'm trying very hard to have a mediocre experience. I've just bought a shaving foam soap (Viking) which I'm going to try instead which should minimize both wastage and shaving time which hopefully adds to the overall experience of using this product. If I were to make one, it would probably be some sort of porous rock that I could pour hot water into and then pour out before mixing. Perhaps the right answer here would be a mortar (it's cheaper and more powerful). Alternatively, a metal shaving bowl in a slightly larger bowl of hot water will give the same result (perhaps even better). , although I use it more than just for the sake of it. If he no longer existed in my world, I would hardly replace him with another.
