Lather bowls

[Erchy]

Waiting on my lather bowl from timeless.

What lather bowl do you use? Which has been the best lather bowl for you if you use one.

Ive realised that face lathering might have been causing my skin sensitivity. Changed to a synthetic brush though which has really helped.

A Mueslibowl from IKEA. Works fine.

I don't really bowl lather, but I have two I will load from, a Bodum Spice bowl (got it from Goodwill), and a bowl that was once part of a full set from my parents house, no markings, but a rough texture.

I quite like my ceramic lather bowl from Captain's Choice. I'd like the try the copper version some day

That's a nice mug.

I also grabbed one of the Timeless bowls to see how it does.

I have six that I use in my rotation but I'd have to say that only the two ceramic, the copper and the stainless one gets used regularly. Occasionally I use the travel scuttle during the coldest months. The salsa bowl may get used once a year, just for the heck of it. And the stainless one with the lid is my travel bowl believe it or not. I like it because it has a lid so I can put stuff in it and it's super light. Weighs almost nothing. And it was super cheap. Like less than $3 so I won't be upset if it gets lost, stolen or damaged. I'm actually considering on adding one to the collection. A Captain's Choice Copper (the heavy one) lather bowl. It looks absolutely perfect from a size and proportion standpoint. I'm just not up to shelling out $50 right now.

I've got the timeless (which I enjoy), a marvy mug, a generic plastic mug, a captain's choice ceramic and a georgetown pottery scuttle. During the winter I like the scuttle best, but during the summer the Captain is my choice.

Ceramic soup mug for uberlathering. Proraso plastic mug to soak brushes. I load refill pucks from ceramic DR Harris bowl but it works for lathering with smaller brushes as well.

I use a salsa dip bowl I bought at a junk store. It has subtle texturizing in the plastic. It works great.

+1 for salsa bowls...mine's from the Dollar Tree (2 pack/$1). Love the micro-texturing and it fits great in my hand. I used to use an apothecary style mug, which I also liked very much, but it slipped out of my hand and cracked in the sink. The plastic salsa bowl is naturally immune to such calamities.

Beautiful collection.

Beautiful collection.

Thank you sir.

Here are my favorites that give me the best results: in back is Pereira's, Timeless, in front is Parker, and Fine.

The one that works best for me is the Pereira's bowl. It has a lot of nubs in the bottom and ridges up the sides of it. Helps a lot to create lather. But I think I enjoy using the Timeless the most because it is a little more compact.
