Anyone use this mug to build their lather?

I bought this thinking it would work good, but I think that the mouth is too narrow. The brush bangs the sides and the lather rides all the way up. Could just be my noobness.

What to you build your lather in?

I have found the best lather making device to be a fairly deep plastic cereal bowl, that has gently sloping sides; this prevents the brush clank that you mention above.

I also have a Georgetown G5 scuttle, and while it looks great on the counter, the bowl is just a tad too small to lather effectively in.

While you can spend $20+ on a bowl sold specifically for shaving, a $2 plastic bowl from your local Target will work just as well, if not better (some of the bowls sold for shaving, are actually only big enough to hold a soap puck).

I use the mug I was born with to build lather.

I bought a large deep latte type mug for cheap, it works better than the Ikea one. I have used the cereal bowl thing you mention. I like the idea of getting a plastic one though. Wet hands, slippery soap, I could wind up with a big heavy ceramic mug on my foot or cracking a bathroom tile.

When I bowl lather I use a medium sized Costa mug (not the big one with two handles, the one down from that).

What size of brush are you using? I'm currently in the market for a scuttle and am gathering the different options and opinions to help me make my choice.

perhaps you can try anything with sloping sides ~5"-6"?
I bought a Jagger apocothary mug that looked cool. Same as you, it banged and didn't quite make it on a number of levels.
After testing/buying a bunch-o-stuff I found myself returning to a porcelain rice bowl.
My thoughts? as above. 5-6" sloping sides and heat-retentive.

+1 on the latte mug. I use one and its large size is comparable to a small bowl. It has smooth sides that lets the lather fall down to the middle. The inside bottom has one small little ledge around the circumference and it makes it a breeze to whip up some soap in no time. The handle is big enough to fit a thumb into and effectively makes it drop-proof.

I found a nice, wide, shallow ceramic bowl at Wally World for $3. Works just dandy.
