Thread: Handy travel "bowl"

I just took a quick vacation with my wife, and found a handy "bowl" for shaving: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's actually a camping cup made by Sea To Summit. It's a silicon rubber kind of material, and is made in a set of concentric rings that allow it to be squished into a flat disk for storage. Also, I quickly discovered you don't have to completely open it. I would usually push it about half-way open to make it a perfect depth for my brush. As a bonus, when you do this, you get some ridges in the bottom of the cup for working lather. They make a couple different sizes, also. But this one seemed about right for me. It won't replace a nice shaving bowl at home, but it is good for travel, and practically indestructible.

I like it. I may have to follow your lead.

Thanks for posting. I had wondered about collapsible silicone dog bowls for the same purpose at one time. Never got around to it as went back to face lathering. Now I know it would work.

Yes, that is pretty much the same thing, in a pet bowl, and should work great also. The one I got fits in the pocket of my dopp bag. It might be a little small for a full sized brush, but it is fine for a travel brush. But the bowl format would be good if it fits in your travel bag.

I guess for bowl lather it could work fine, but I face lather so not needed, but mostly at every hotel I stayed at when I did bowl lather I just had them send up a coffee mug, no need for packing something extra and no cost, I like the dog bowl thing Bob, 2 birds one stone. Tc

Sea to Summit produces some quality gear.

I've seen those before, but never really thought of them as possible shaving accessories. Most of my traveling is visiting my parents, so I can use Dad's shaving stuff.
