    Default What material bowl?

    What material is your lather bowl of? Are there pros and cons to the different materials?

    Thanks,

    Josh

    Ceramic/china.

    Pros and cons are heat losses in different materials, ie metal vs china. Lather will cool down quicker which is not what you want.

    For creams, I use a very old Colgate wood shaving bowl most of the time. For soaps, the container they came in... often ceramic/china.

    I am now contemplating the acquisition of a scuttle.

    I just use the same kind of ceramic bowl for lather as well as for fruits/vegets. It's practical and easy to maintain unless you accidently drop it.
