I got my silicone dog slow feed bowls last week. They are a game changer.
The only problem is that they might actually be too good. Lather porn state can be reached in about 30 seconds even without enough water, leading to very thick yoghurt consistency. It takes only 10-15 seconds, though, to mix in more water.

Saw this at a craft show and was going to pass until my wife talked me into purchasing it. Glad I did, lathers like crazy.
Very nice!!
I was always a face latherer but I am now coming around to the bowl method. I received a free stainless steel ikea bowl with an order from Vshod and used it with some samples.
I found that bowl lathering provides the following benifits. Better post shave feel because it is easier in the skin. Better shave as there is lots of lather readily available to be generous in subsequent passes. Better shave experience because the lather can be kept warm. I float the bowl in a sink of warm water between passes.
I am still looking for the ideal bowl but have found that the ideal shape to be as close as possible to a half sphere. This seems to engage the sides and keeps the lather in the bowl rather than over the sides. The ideal size for me is somewhere in the range of 90-120mm and max depth of 60mm. Metal seems to work best at transferring heat to the lather from the sink between passes. Copper would probably be the best as it is very conductive.
If the ridges make as much difference as people say, the below bowl may well be close to the ideal set up. It’s pricey but would look good in the bathroom!

I just use a rice bowl from Walmart. The key word is “bowl”. Nothing special required. Just use something comfortable in hand.
My wife is a potter and I may get her to make me a lather bowl even though I may just stick with face lathering. But I think she wants me to have a lather bowl so she can make more of them to sell at pottery shows and on her Etsy store.
Nice.
Yesterday I got my singing bowl to use for making lather. It is huge. 5" bowl weighing it at almost 2 pounds. One of my issues with my other bowl was size. My shaving brush kept hitting the bowl. This bowl also keeps the lather in the bowl (I tend to make a lot of lather).
Very nice. Does it make a sound when you make lather in it? Sort of adds to the idea of shaving as a time for meditation!
I haven't tried that yet. It may add some zen to my shave (or irritate the wife).
I started a thread on this today, barring a late hail Mary from someone, I'll be ordering the heavy copper one in the next few days..
I just got the regular weight rolled edge copper bowl today. Nice weight and feels very sturdy. I was going to get the heavy one, but maggards only had this one in stock when I ordered. I'm happy with it it! Can't wait to try it out tonight!
I have a timeless bowl, a PAA scuttle, a singing bowl, a mug and a suribachi bowl. I’ve begun face lathering. I’m very curious about the SV Shaving Grail...but it’s $60...
Just received a Captain's Choice Copper Bowl. 
Outstanding, let me know how it goes! Didn't know Maggard stocked them at all!
Love Saponifcio Varesino.....go for it!! You tried any of their Cosmo range?
Cool, great idea about the bowl floating!
