    Classic shaving also have metal bowls. I would have used the original plastic tubs from Mama Bear or Proraso.

    Default Wooden bowl

    I was in Muji (Japanese general stores in England) yesterday and bought an inexpensive wooden bowl that seams perfect for shaving. Although it doesn't retain heat it doesn't make the lather cold either. Seams pretty good so far...

    Speaking of alternate shave bowls, I often use a Japanese rice bowl. Perfect in size (for me) and cost me about fifty cents at my local Asian market.

    Default Salsa time!

    I use a salsa bowl from Walmart/Target for about a buck. Nice textured surface for working up my uberlather. No heat conduction or retention tho.

    This has worked extremely well for me (also a doublewalled metal bowl with a homemade hole in it):
