I lather in a discarded yogurt container about 3 1/2 inches in diameter, 3 inches deep. My bath soap scraps are in the bowl and I lather them with circular and side to side brush strokes without difficulty. Cost $0.
If you're referring to me, I'll tell you that it was to say that you don't have to just use foam in a bowl... you can also try foaming on your face! My thought was, you don't need a bowlThe OP asks about bowl lathering and people post to say they don't bowl lather? :
I face lather most of the time, actually, but it's not either/or. It's good to be flexible.
Too much contact with a brush can affect my face. That's the main reason I don't face lather. The other reason is keeping my soap tubs/containers pristine. I do finish up the lather on my face but gently. Actually making the lather on my face is counter productive for my skin.If you're referring to me, I'll tell you that it was to say that you don't have to just use foam in a bowl... you can also try foaming on your face!

I expressed an opinion sir
I agree, especially for those with sensitive skinToo much contact with a brush can affect my face
sensitive skin? then it is counter productiveActually making the lather on my face is counter productive for my skin.
This.The Timeless shaving bowl makes the best lather, I think. It's big, cheap, unbreakable -- and breathtakingly ugly. But it really works. Timelessrazor.com

I have a question about your copper/brass (?) - bowl -I have something similar and , do you notice something similar with yours?The Pereira bowl, while not cheap, will give you ample room to build tons of lather that won’t overflow.

I love face latheringface lathering.
Personal opinion but I do not think the bowl size is super critical (width or depth). I would try loading the brush less and using less water and see how it goes. Add more of each as needed until you find that ideal balance point and get the lather you want without having it overflowing on you.Hi, up until now I've formed my lather in the same container the shaving soap (Proraso red) is in (on top of the soap), and I've been able to get a pretty decent lather using this method. However, I was curious if a better lather could be achieved using a shaving bowl, and the answer is yes, I'm able to get a thicker lather with a bowl, but I seem to lose half of it by it having a tendency to flow over the sides of the bowl, on the brush handle and all over my hands. Tried a whole bunch of different bowls of differing sizes, but still don't seem able to keep the lather in the bowl! Am I doing something wrong? Is there a perfect size in terms of depth and width (read 3" deep and 4" wide somewhere, but tried a bowl that size). Would love any tips, thanks.
Ever since I uploaded my 3D-printed lather bowl design and Sugardaddy started using it in videos it has become a popular download, but I think it's time to revise the design. I have several variations and the one that seems to hold the lather well is a shallow version with a wider bottom. I will keep testing it till I'm comfortable with the design before I make it available for download.I have had good success with my Proraso lathering bowl. For my larger brushes I use a hammered stainless bowl I picked up in one of those dollar stores. Works very well.
I have also played with the idea of having a bowl 3D printed. Sugardaddy uses one on his videos. Looks really nice.
This past 1.5 months I seemed to have taken a break from bowl lathering and have been face lathering. So far I have grown to like it.
Enjoy,
