Captain's Choice Copper Lather Bowl Polished

Product Overview

Captain's Choice Copper Lather Bowl Polished is a handmade shaving bowl crafted one at a time from copper and finished with a showroom-quality shimmer. This polished Standard version can be kept bright with regular care or allowed to naturally develop the authentic patina that copper acquires over time.

Beyond its distinctive appearance, the bowl is purpose-built for traditional wet shaving. A hammered finish, ridges impressed into the bottom, contoured sides, and an exterior thumb rest work together to create a functional bowl for building shaving lather. The Standard version also features an appealing rolled edge around the lip and weighs approximately six ounces.

Quick Take

A handmade polished copper shaving bowl that combines traditional craftsmanship with functional wet shaving details. Bottom ridges assist with lather building, contoured sides help contain the lather, and an indented thumb rest provides a secure grip.

Handmade Copper Construction

Each Captain's Choice Copper Lather Bowl begins as a sheet of copper and is individually shaped by an artisan to Captain's Choice specifications. A hammered finish is applied before ridges are impressed into the bottom to help expedite the lathering process.

The sides are shaped into a contoured profile designed to help contain the lather while reducing contact between the shaving brush and the sides of the bowl. Captain's Choice finishes the piece with a rolled upper edge, an exterior thumb rest, and the company name stamped into the bottom.

Polished Finish and Natural Patina

This version of the Captain's Choice Copper Lather Bowl features a polished, showroom-quality shimmer. Keep the copper buffed to maintain its brighter appearance or allow the surface to gradually develop a natural patina over time. The choice allows each bowl to take on an appearance that reflects how its owner prefers to maintain it.

A Word from the Manufacturer

Captain's Choice created this polished version in response to customers who wanted the Standard Copper Lather Bowl with a showroom-quality shimmer. Owners can keep the bowl polished or allow it to slowly develop the authentic patina that only time can impart.

Each bowl is created individually by an artisan to Captain's Choice specifications. From the hammered copper and lathering ridges to the contoured sides and indented thumb rest, every element is shaped with both appearance and the traditional wet shaving experience in mind.

Handmade Variations

Each Captain's Choice Copper Lather Bowl is handmade one at a time. Natural imperfections in the copper and variations in individual craftsmanship mean that no two bowls will be exactly alike.
