Goodfellas' Smile Large Black Resin Shaving Bowl | Durable Resin Construction With Integrated Brush Rest , Creates the Perfect Lather for your shave

Honestly, this is a fantastic lathering bowl. Although it might not feel as premium as a ceramic bowl, this is still my favorite of my three bowls (this one, and 2 ceramics). It's just simple plastic, but the build quality is still great with it being thick and sturdy, and not rough edges from the manufacturing process. It's plastic, so there is no worry of dropping it when cleaning the bowl after a shave. I actually use the bowl to pour water around the sink basin, and there is no worry of bumping the sink and chipping the bowl. The textured surface on the inside is fantastic, and the wide mouth of the bowl gives you plenty of room to whip up a thick lather while the tall walls keep everything inside the bowl. I find the bowl to fit great in my hand when building a lather, but I could see if it is a bit too wide for slightly smaller hands. Hooking your thumb into the looped handle can help stabilize the bowl as you lather, which is nice. The brush rest is fantastic as well. I also love that cream/ivory sort of color to the bowl, it's a simple thing but it does look nice. Overall a simple and fantastic option to go for when looking to get what you need for your shaving routine. (Also, the brush in my photo is a Simpsons Trafalgar T3, and it is great.)

The only thing I don't really like is the branding on the side of the bowl, but that's just a matter of personal taste. But this item has proved to be more functional than I was expecting. I can store my brush on the handle; there's a nice cradle where the brush can rest. I can also store my shaving items in the bowl itself, as the bowl is quite large. I store my Proraso after shave in there, along with my Osma alum block, and my DE razor. Everything fits neatly, nice and compact. The ridges along the bottom of the bowl help whip up a nice lather very quickly. The price is great, and if you drop it it's not going to shatter. It's not too heavy, and not too light; feels very solid in the hands.

My current favorite shave bowl, slightly pricey for being plastic. Being plastic it’s lighter than I would prefer. But the brush rest, finger loop combo is unique and I love it. It is large compared to some of my other bowls which makes working the lather easy. I’ve knocked it off the counter once and had no damage to it, seems solid and durable.

There is plenty of real estate in the bowl to whip up a large amount of lather. Enough for a second pass if you’re inclined to do so. The second feature is the brush rest that is a win for me. I like laying the brush on not in the bowl or mug. It’s light weight and rinses out easily.

I've used a brush/mug for near on 20 years. I built lather on the puck that whole time. My old brush took a poo, so I went down the wet shave rabbit hole, and in the process learned more about building lather. I picked up this bowl after buying another that was too small, and then another that is a very nice, wide, smooth stainless. I used this bowl before trying the nice stainless bowl, and now I'm having trouble even trying out the stainless. I will eventually, but this thing builds amazing lather, and can't see myself using anything else. I am considering using the stainless for my badgers, as there are conflicting opinions online on aeration ribs, and their effect on brushes. I know their effect on lather. They whip it..whip it real good. This bowl is a great size. Light, shatterproof. I like the brush rest. It doesn't look half bad, either. It's really an all around fantastic bowl. If you buy it, buy a feather duster for your other bowls, because they're gonna collect dust. Now, I'm even more curious about their shaving scuttle.

Beautiful design, very comfortable handle and right size for a good preparation

Yes it is a bit large, but its the right size to hold the brush and razor comfortably. Perfect size for me. Works Great.

It's OK for what it is, just way too large to use comfortably.

Très bien mais beaucoup trop grand à mon goût.
