    My wife had this laying around and it did a lot better than my very small stainless kit bowl.

    Being white makes it hard to see the lather though....

    Dollar store Salsa Bowl. Its plastic and has a stippled texture on the inside and out. I used it a few times before I decided I liked face lathering better.Name:  PMSB-56.jpg

    FWIW --

    Visit a pet shop, and look over the small, stainless steel, dog / cat food and water bowls.

    Not very expensive, don't break if you drop them, different sizes available.

    Found these two bowls today, fit right into each other, and the red one is just the right size for lathering. They are actually fresh-keeping bowls for food. but they dont break quickly when dropping them and can be put into a dishwasher, which also means they can handle the hot water from the tab. a total of 8,99 euro and they work nice for me

    Looks like a nice way to either keep lather warm, keep soap in, or both even.

    Yesterday I was in Petco. I saw a bowl for water for a cat made of ceramic that had texture to help with lather creation. It was only like $4.

    Some time ago I bought this bowl which is supposed to be for grinding things. It's solid granite and weighs about 15 pounds and came with a pestle. I got it at Costco for around 15 bucks. I rarely use it. I experimented and let hot tap water run in it a few minutes and you know what? it made a great lather bowl. It has a rough interior looks great has about a 7 inch opening and retains the heat really good. You can grind salt into the interior with the pestle to make the interior as smooth as you want. It has the room to make mountains of lather. If you have the room for it cause it's too heavy to move around it's a unique piece.

    this is a miscellaneous bowl you can get at Walmart. On a tight budget they work great.
