Query: Almost perfect!

I purchased this item especially for use with Colonel Conks shaving soap, as it was rated highly and matched by Amazon. When I recieved the bowl, the packaging wasn't spectacular looking, so if this is a gift to someone, do not send it directly to them.This bowl is very finely crafted and wonderfully polished. It's made from solid wood and is very smooth and well made. It did smell strongly of varnish when I first opened the packaging, but that went away in a couple of days.My two complaints are: It's not deep enough for a new bar of Conk's soap. It's about 1/4" shy of being deep enough. Second, the lid, while I wouldn't say it's improperly made by any means, is looser than I would prefer. A snug lid would make this perfect for traveling.Overall, an extraordinary value, and I would buy it again.
