Description

Product Overview

The same Parker SBSS bowl in solid polished 304 stainless steel, sold as an open-box unit: the packaging has been opened, the bowl is complete and inspected, and the price reflects the box rather than the steel.

The interior tapers from 3.66 inches at the rim to 2.16 at the base, which works the lather as the brush swirls, and Parker states the steel is designed for excellent heat retention. It takes soap pucks up to about 3 inches round, weighs 0.28 lbs, and shrugs off drops that would end a ceramic bowl.

What This Bowl Does

A steel lathering bowl is the practical extreme of the category: it cannot chip, cannot crack, warms fast under a hot tap, and Parker states this one is designed for excellent heat retention once warm.

Parker’s claims for its own bowl: 100% high quality 304 grade stainless steel, smoothly polished, a minimalist modern design, excellent heat retention, and room for soap pucks up to about 3 inches round. This listing is an open-box unit: complete, inspected, and functionally identical to a new one.

Who This Is Best For

Warm lather shavers
Fill it with hot tap water for a minute, tip it out, and the steel gives the heat back.
Travellers and renters
0.28 lbs and unbreakable: the bowl that survives the wash bag.
Modern bathrooms
Polished steel and nothing else: Parker calls the design minimalist and modern.

How To Use It

Warm the bowl with hot water and tip it out. Set or scoop your soap in, then work a wet brush in circles; the tapered walls build the lather as you go.

It also works as a plain lathering bowl for creams: a nickel sized amount of cream and a wet brush is all it takes.

Care and Storage

Rinse and towel-dry. It is 304 stainless steel: no rust in normal use, no special handling, and nothing a drop can break.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is it made of?
100% high quality 304 grade stainless steel, smoothly polished, per Parker. 304 is the standard corrosion resistant grade.
How big is it?
Interior 3.66 inches across the top tapering to 2.16 at the base, 2.2 inches tall, 0.28 lbs, as published by Parker.
Does it keep lather warm?
Parker states it is designed for excellent heat retention. Warm the steel first under a hot tap and it holds that warmth through the shave.
What soap fits?
Pucks up to about 3 inches round, per Parker, and it lathers creams just as well.
What does open box mean here?
The packaging was opened or is imperfect, and the bowl itself is complete and inspected. Solid stainless steel has no seals, electronics or wear parts, so an open-box bowl gives up nothing but the box.
Will it rust or break?
No to both, in normal use: 304 stainless resists corrosion and the bowl is solid steel. Rinse and dry it and it will outlast the rest of the shelf.
Does it have a lid?
No. It is an open lathering bowl, not a lidded soap keeper; Parker’s mango wood bowls are the lidded option.
Where is it made?
Parker does not publish a country of origin for this bowl, so we do not claim one.
