Thread: Is it better to lather in wooden bowl than plastic stuff?

As far as the lather goes the material has little to do with making a lather. Of course ceramic will last forever barring mishaps and wood will eventually start to deteriorate at some point.

I use a small tupoware container that I put my pucks of soap in. I whip the brush on the puck and face lather. Its good enough for me, use what you like, don't put too much thought into it if you don't want to.

I found a cheap Pyrex bowl set at Costco. I run hot water, put my cream and glycerin in the first bowl and set that bowl in the second with the hot water before jumping in the shower. Works great!

Gentlemen:

I make lather in either a pewter shave mug, or in a ceramic dipping bowl with soft ridges I found at Target. An electric coffee mug warmer keeps the lather warm in the mug or the bowl. Through the years I found wood and plastic don't keep my lather warm.
