My favorite bowl is the Captain's Choice Copper Lather Bowl. Since getting it a few years ago, I've purged my shave den of all others. It's that good!!!

Count me as another happy owner of a Captain's Choice ceramic lather bowl. I love my cobalt Seaworthy lather bowl. The base fits well in my hand and the interior of the bowl is large enough to build a good lather for (at least) three passes.
I'd recommend you check out the Captain's Choice website and get a bowl that meets your preferences. While you're at it, you may want to take a look at some of Scott's software. @Captain Pre-Capsize makes excellent shave soaps, creams, aftershave splashes, and aftershave balms in addition to his lather bowls.
Of course, if you really want to complete the set, you could also get a Captain's Choice mug and coaster.

Presenting, the one and only, the absolutely and positively gorgeous, Captains Choice Starry Night Scuttle!
A man of culture I see.

Some really great looking suggestions. I believe my first bowl will most likely be the Captain's Choice copper. I know it goes against kind of what I want in a bowl but then remembering I fall out of chairs while sitting still, it is best to wait on ceramic till I get a first bowl. Hopefully in the future I will add a Georgetown Pottery bowl or scuttle and then a Captain's Choice ceramic then I will be able to rotate.
Falling out of chairs while sitting is quite a talent! I'm amazed by your skill of sillyness. Now, if you want a copper bowl instead, I say get either the Captains Choice deep copper bowl, or the Obsidian bowl.
Try a Japanese Suribachi bowl. They are the Japanese equivalent of a mortar and pestle. Bowl has built-in ridges for a great lather. Plus they are dirt cheap.
If you go the suribachi bowl route, be careful. Some members have reported damaging their brush tips on some suribachi bowls.
Captain's Choice Copper Lather Bowl. Every shave. ❤

Thanks for pointing that out. I will watch for additional wear on my synthetic brush.
It's always bugged me that in any bowl the lather rides up the sides and over the edge.
So I created a DIY solution by cutting out the flat part of the lid from the 2-cup size (5" wide) Anchor Hocking glass bowl with lid. Lather doesn't ride over the edge. The tab on the lid makes a perfect thumb hold and the lid is soft plastic so there's no problem when you bang the brush handle against it. Less then $10. Perfect size and weight to sit in the hand.
