Fellas-
I've used about 5-7 different bowls to lather in which have all been very different... Recently, I picked up a stainless steel prep bowl (for kitchen use) for $3.50 at the grocery store. I do like the look of my hand-thrown scuttles and lather bowls, but for $3.50 and the durability of steel this is a can't miss.
One thing that caught my eye is that the inside of the bowl is brushed stainless, which surprisingly helps create lather (as opposed to a shiney/smooth surface). Only downside is the lack of heat retention.
The manufacturer is RSVP/Endurance and you can get these just about anywhere (Amazon, Chef Tools, etc), so think twice before spending a mint on those "branded" bowls... Just a thought.
