Jagen David ® XL9 - Shaving Bowl For Manual Shaving with Double edge razors, safety razors, straight razors, damascus razors (Silver)

OK for the price. I would happily pay double for better quality and deducted two stars for the disappointing weld between the cup and the base portions. It leaves three rough blemishes on the bowl surface. Time will tell if it holds up to use.

I was quite disappointed with this product. The design is stylish and I liked that it has the little plinth base which should make easier to grip when creating a lather, which was why I chose it. However, on opening up the packaging I found there were very noticeable chips in the stainless steel on the outside of the bowl which has already caused rust! There is also a separate significant dent in the bowl causing an unsightly area of black corrosion, as can be seen from the photographs. Further, there are four pock marks at the bottom of the bowl (pictured) which I assume are from welding the two components together but it looks unsightly and poorly made on such an expensive bowl.I think the terrible manufacturing quality is a real shame as I liked the design and was excited to have this bowl as I'm getting into wet shaving. I will be returning this product and will avoid the Jagen David brand in the future - for me 'quality' is about more than just brand names - it has to be backed up by actual tangible manufacturing quality of a companies products. Overall, at this price, "Poor show, Jagen David!"

The chrome isn’t very lasting and impressive, very over priced, you’re better off buying the cheaper ones that look alike. They will either be the same or better.

Excellent quality. A large bowl makes shaving a lot easier. Just needs a quick rinse to remain clean and shiny. Would highly recommend.

Bowl works well. However it has a cheap feel with poor welding which is surprising considering its price.
