I have a few of them now, i was put onto them by culcreuch  it took a little while to get the Animal set of Badger, Deer, Foxes and Squirrels.
They take the travel size soap from signature soaps perfectly. A brilliant up-cycle idea.

Morning, Tony'schin!

I've admired your ceramic soap containers in your recent posts, so this morning I scrolled back through this month's SOTD thread to look again and saw the comment from Dave in KY and your response. I had no idea these are relish containers. From the picture they remind me of the size/shape of my MWF container, but from Googling I see that they are smaller and much thicker.

Lovely collection you have!
Bryan, FNG-SE

Sunday SEptember 19, 2021
Razor: Star Super Six
Blade: Gem SS
Brush: Star Bone Handle 17mm Boar
Soap: Ethos Vanilla Safi
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Ethos Dragonsbeard Skin Food Splash
Fragrance: Ethos Dragonsbeard EDP
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,047

Again using the amazing Vanilla Safi sample generously gifted to me by Pete. The Dragonsbeard Splash and EDP are a perfect pairing for it. Amazed at how well the 2nd use little 17mm boar whipped up a creamy slick lather even though I over did the water. Have a great day everyone !

Woah, what a stunning razor. It's like a Damaskeene and a Shovelhead had the most beautiful baby razor!!! Big Grin 

How does it compare/shave to others in your stable? It looks like there is a little square notch/cutout on the top of the backside. What is that for?

Lather Catcher Sunday's Shave
[Image: zcws.jpg]

Cold Water Rinse
Cella Shave Soap
Jayaruh #1 Silvertip Badger
J.A. Henckels Rapide
Henckels Wedge
CWR
Cella ASB

The Cella Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #1 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the J.A. Henckels Rapide Lather Catcher with a Henckels Wedge Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Cella ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Hi  Bryan, 
Thank you for your comments, they are Patum Peperium relish pots. I mainly use them for Signature soaps Travel size.
A little tip, there are at least 3 sizes
A small 50mm
A medium at around 100mm - good for a travel size soap
A large at around 110 mm and deeper -  these will just about take a full size soap.

I put a standard size OSP tub in the pic so you can judge size.
Hope this helps

Vintage X razor (Flat blade razor!)
Vintage Strong Hold boar brush
Vintage English Wilkinson Sword blade (Thank you @Gairdner!)
Stirling Bay Rum shave soap
Proraso after shave


Always heard good things about English Wilkinson Sword blades.

Always heard bad things about German flat blade razors.

First time for both and had an amazing shave!

Felt like there was no blade, got a super smooth shave with no issues.
Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.

Not familiar with the razor you are referring to. Is it an unmentionable? If so could you please PM me a little info?

Bryan Thanks ! Looks like you answered your question on YouTube already. This Star Super Six is at the top of the heap for me on efficiency and smoothness. Knew nothing about it when I got it but fell in love with this thing on the 1st shave with it !
