Pereira Shavery Unbreakable Lather Bowl

I waited a long time for these to become available again, and I am glad I did. If you are considering this bowl, I heartily recommend it. I have gradually added to the things I do to make shaving an enjoyable indulgence and this bowl was a great addition. I wanted a bowl that has a handle so it would be easy to grip, and also unbreakable in case I did drop it. Check and check. I also wanted a bowl that did not irritate me with how cheap it sounded every time the brush hit the side of the bowl like the plastic one I was using before I got this one. Look, if you are going to be shaving every day for the rest of your life, or at least for the next few years, then spending a little extra to make the experience more enjoyable is money well spent. Get a good brush, a good cream, and this bowl, and shaving becomes a nice little ritual you do for yourself each day instead of just a tedious chore.

This bowl overcomes the problems I have had with others. The internal vanes and projections aid in producing a rich lather. The height prevents lather spillover and it is comforting to know it is unbreakable. It was worth waiting for WCS restock.

This bowl hits what I need to make a fine lather. I was tired of breaking ceramic bowls, when they would slip out of my wet hands, or slippery sink. So I was on the hunt for a good lathering bowl that wouldn't shatter when it slips from my hands. This bowl fills that need. I love the large size, the raised ridges and bumps, and unbreakable to boot. I wear a medium glove, so I don't have big hands, it took not long but a maybe a few times before I figured out how to hold it comfortably . I put my hand on the bottom slip my thumb through the trigger guard and cup the bottom of the bowl. So smaller hands can hold it no problem. I load my brush in my granite bowl and whip up some nice lather in my Pereira Bowl. My only gripe is that I believe it to be overpriced, for a molded bowl and it is a nicely molded bowl, but it's a molded bowl, that is why 4 stars instead of 5. But I do like it enough that if I had to I would purchase again. I own 2 of these at this time. Just my opinion. PS: I've had my oldest 1 I don't know how long, but haven't even dropped it yet.

I intended to give the Peirera shaving bowl a 4-star rating, but inadvertently gave a 2-star rating in my 8/04/2021 review. I use it with all my shaving soaps and creams, even those in apothecary mugs or in container bowls, like TOBS, Chiseled Face or Stirling Soap Co. It's pricey, but it works well at producing a nice foam, and dries quickly.

This thing works, so let’s start there. Great lather! The bowl itself is rather large and the groves are deep so I feel I lose some soap every time I shave. All in all I’m happy with it and will continue to use. I will eventually find a new one that better suits me.
