Seeking Durable Shaving Bowl with Aesthetics and Functionality

[Cameron]

I've been deliberating over the choice of a shaving bowl and I find myself torn between aesthetics and functionality. On one hand, ceramic bowls are visually appealing to me, but on the other, their fragility makes me hesitant. I've taken a great interest in suggestions like the Captain’s Choice copper bowl for its durability, and the Pereira Shavery Unbreakable for being unbreakable as its name implies. However, I can't help but wonder if there's a happy medium out there – a bowl that's not only functional and indestructible but also pleasing to the eye. Has anyone come across such a shaving bowl that marries these qualities without compromises? Also, how do you balance the functional aspect with the aesthetic appeal in your shaving gear choices? I look forward to your experiences and suggestions, especially from those who have a keen eye for design and a penchant for practicality.
