Shaving Bowl Proraso 400810

Proraso 400810 is a practical, generously sized shaving bowl designed for building lather with a brush rather than balancing it in a small soap jar. Its 115mm opening gives the brush room to move freely, while the high sides help keep water and lather inside as air is worked into the mixture. The sturdy green plastic is light, resistant to bathroom knocks and far less fragile than ceramic, making the bowl equally useful at home or in a barber’s daily routine. A broad side handle steadies the bowl in the palm and keeps the fingers away from the working area. It is a simple Italian-made tool that makes the consistency of shaving cream or soap easier to see, adjust and repeat.

Who is it for?

For anyone who prepares shaving lather from cream or brush-loaded soap and wants a dedicated, easy-to-hold vessel with plenty of working space.

Who is it not for?

Not essential for users who prefer to build lather directly on the face or on top of the soap. Plastic also retains less warmth than a preheated ceramic bowl.

What does it do?

It provides a stable space for combining shaving product, water and air into a creamy, protective lather. The wide opening supports full brush movement and the handle improves control while whisking.

How to use?

Add a small amount of shaving cream or transfer soap from a loaded brush into the bowl. Work the brush in circular and back-and-forth movements, adding water a few drops at a time until the lather is glossy, cohesive and easily spread. Rinse the bowl after use and allow it to dry.
