Howdy!
As I read previously on this board: THE DOLLAR STORE IS YOUR FRIEND!
I just found some great unbreakable shaving bowls with water tight screw on lids...
Ready...
Crayola® Insulated Containers (for kid-size soup in a lunch box maybe?)
A 3.25 oz / 100 g cake of shaving soap fits neatly in the bottom.
It beats the $12 I paid for a Schöne Stainless Steel Half Hemisphere (which won't contain the soap very well when traveling...)

Little plastic bowl for a dollar - to use when traveling.
Someone in China may have thought this is what a raccoon looks like.
To me, it looks more like a badger.
Little salsa bowls from a dollar store work well also. Some have a slightly rough interior that help build lather.
I thought that the blue one was appropriate for my hyper-mentholated soap from Turkey:

I don't have a clue what "No BPA" means...
EDIT: Now I do... it stands for Bisphenol A (BPA).
From what I remember talking to a plastics guy I knew, BPA is only going to be a problem with heat. However, to get rid of the BPA and maintain the capabilities of the plastic, they just replace it with a similar chemical that has the same issues.

$1.50 salsa bowl from Walmart..long time favorite
Ahh... The three footed base -- stable on any surface!
The salsa bowl is exactly what I use cheap, rough interior to help with lathering.
Doesn't anybody create a lather on the face anymore ? I use a soap bowl to hold the soap for filling the brush than I whip up the lather on my face with a Parker silver tip badger brush, (helps to prep the skin and work in the soap to create a smoother shave )
Yes, but since we know about BPA now, the marketing ploy is "BPA free," because it sounds better than...Quote:

Yes we do face lather as a matter of fact probably a bigger percentage do. And the guys who bowl,lather still are working the lather into the whiskers just as well, fact is most bowl or scuttle lather guys will generally do a better job of working it in to their face cause they are very meticulous about their prep work, they like the ritual, face lather guys just get it done.

Hey I,m a face lather er too, but the guys that bowl lather still apply the lather the same way we do and rub it in just as much, they just get the lather built before going to the face then rub it in, one of the reason I stopped bowl lathering is cause it's just another step. But they still apply it and swirl it in the same as me. Tc
That looks very nice! looks like a trip to Wal-Mart is in order! Where in the store are they?Quote:

Are those ceramic or plastic? I went to my wal-mart and all they had were these 4 footed light weight plastic bowls. Not stable at all.Quote:

Aha -- Amazon.com -- search for "stone salsa bowl" -- definitely not dollar-store pricing.

The plastic bowls work great. Buy two and cut out a small hole just below the rim on the outside but only go thru the outside layer. Then you can fill the bowl chamber with hot water and have a scuttle.
