Cost-effective (cheap) shaving bowl substitute I found
So in making the rounds with the soon-to-be Mrs., I came across this little dandy:
Footed Soup Bowl | Crate&Barrel
It's just a simple soup bowl, but has an inward facing lip that is perfect for lathering in the bowl. Good sized - maybe a little too large for some. Fits well with the decor when you have to share your shave den with the little lady. I just fill the bowl and submerge it in a sink full of hot water and soak my brush inside while I shower. Empty the bowl, lather, and the lather is nice and warm for the first pass, and the second pass still is a little warm too. Just an idea for those not excited about spending $40 on a scuttle.
Just wanted to share my findings.
