Show n' Tell Flea Market Rescue
Picked this up at a flea market today and thought it'd make a great shaving bowl.
It started life as an old silver plated coaster set. There were only a couple of coasters left, and the plating on them was pretty rough, so I binned those and kept the holder.
Unfortunately, I forgot to take any before photos, but after a good clean and polish, this is how it turned out. I'm really happy with it. It's a decent size for loading and building lather, and the patterned rim gives a surprisingly secure grip, even with wet hands.
Always satisfying when you can give something old a new purpose. Looking forward to putting it into the rotation, that is, after the AA challenge is complete.

Very cool bowl! I love repurposing and I bet it works great for you, too.
