Captain's Choice The Admiral Copper Lather Bowl

Product Overview

Captain's Choice The Admiral Copper Lather Bowl is an upscale handmade shaving bowl crafted from the same heavy gauge copper used for the brand's Heavyweight model. Buffed to a high shine and finished with hammered accents, The Admiral pairs the warmth of polished copper with a contrasting brass thumb rest for a distinctive traditional wet shaving accessory.

Each bowl is created individually by an artisan to Captain's Choice specifications. Interior ridges help expedite the lathering process, while the contoured profile helps contain developing lather. The slightly indented brass thumb rest provides a secure grip while adding a contrasting accent to the polished copper construction.
