Thread: Your preferred bowl to lather in

Not bad Mike, I like the hole for hanging. Tc

Love my Classic Edge Scuttle, fills up nicely with hot water for warm lather, and I can soak and warm the brush in the spout if I want.

I usually will load the brush, start a good lather building in the bowl, and for some reason, leaving it for about a minute, seems to allow the soap to spread and even out, releasing the characteristics of whatever particular soap I'm using, and seems to always result in a thick, creamy lather.

Used to be primarily a face latherer, now it's always warm lather from the scuttle.....

I really like the "inverted lips" in lathering bowls. I don't have the SRD bowl but I have seen it and consider it to be a brilliant improvement for solving the creeping lather problem.

It was a seemingly obvious improvement that no one else thought of! Personally, I think it should be incorporated into the design of every lathering bowl.

For home use:


Pretty neat enamel cup, was 7$ and should be nearly unbreakable.

For traveling:


German military butter can. My Muehle travelling shaving brush fits in perfectly!

I am very happy with this bowl. It lathers wonderfully.

A teacup inherited from my grandmother. Works great with delicately-scented, smaller-puck German and Austrian soaps. Soap goes in the bottom of the cup here, so I suppose that's cheating...

Just bought one of the Classic Shaving Scuttles on Ebay 27+10.00 Priority Shipping. A great deal.

The StaticHole technology terrifies me.

This is my favorite, although I face-lather a lot, but I love this one from Symmetrical Pottery on Etsy. They'll customize them for you and have a few styles. The "dots" really build the lather.

That's REALLY nice Harold!
