Creative shave bowls

[Suhrim21]

So after my bowl post yesterday and the salsa shave bowl posted it got me thinking. Lets post pics of our unconditional shave bowls you have come up with. I was thinking this would be a fun thread and could give ideas to members who do not have shave bowls. Also include the price or close to price if you dont remember.

Keeping with this here is my shave bowl. I got it from TJ MAX. It was 2.99

Soup mug/bowl thing for me. Found it at an antique mall place for $5. Appears to be hand-thrown so it has that going for it. I like it because it's plenty wide although it could be taller.

Great kit!! Proraso green (especially the AS) is also a favorite here!!

Cool Whip bowl works great and is nice to travel because it's a little bit on the flexible side but very light.

My wife had a vintage Girl Scout mess kit that she used to mix paint. Makes a great shaving bowl.

I bought this at Walmart when I first started wet shaving about 8 years ago. It's a dog food bowl for min sized dogs. It holds a pint I think. The second one is a rice bowl picked up the asian grocery store a few weeks ago. Both cost less than 5 bucks and work like a charm.

I like this topic. Gives great ideas to people like myself who cannot afford a 30 dollar captains choice bowl.

I use a dip cooler/warmer. Works great, it a two piece item. Not too big.

5 years ago I picked this beauty up at a Goodwill shop for 50 cents. Looks to be a 70's salad bowl. Hard plastic (no drop worry) fits in the palm just right plus I luv the color. I serrated the bottom - works great.

There's also a Soup/chili Bowl about 5 1/4 inches in diameter available at the dollar tree in several different colors that I used for several months with great success.

A turtle soap dish from Marshalls. I think was $7. The lines in the shell are ridges.

Here's one I just picked up this morning. It's a textured resin bowl with soft ridges & dips. And I wasn't looking, honest....

Nice bowl. The one I found I am learning it is just too tall. I'm going to have to go back to TJ MAXX and see if I can find something shorter. I went to rescue my fiance after showing her that store. She went by herself and 2 and a half hours later 10 min before the store closed I went to get her out of there. I happened to pass by that bowl so I grabbed it. I'm sure if I really look I can find something that will work better. I did glue in pennies and it makes great lather. It's just to tall and I get lather all the way up the handle of the brush.
