Thread: Shave Bowl Project - need some input

Here's my set up:


I use a Surabachi as the soap bowl. Scrap soap off of the puck on the bowls indentations. And the place it in the over sized coffee cup(or soup cup) that I just took out of the microwave with hot water in it. For me the system works great.

What did you make it out of and how did you make it?

I use an empty Taylor of Old Bond Street plastic container but would like to try a scuttle. I won't use a ceramic scuttle on the odd chance that I would drop it in my ceramic sink and break the sink: an expensive error - learned the hard way. Your steel one looks light weight enuf to try.

Thanks

Much like others (Ryan82 for example) I keep those soaps that come in a manufacturer's container (usually a wooden bowl) in that container. I load the brush there, then generally lather in another bowl which is currently a large latte cup (my wife hasn't missed it yet). For pucks that come without a container, I press them into an old coffee mug and there it stays. Have several of those in my soap drawer at present. I add water, soak the brush there, then lather in that cup after draining the water. I put creams on the brush and lather in the latte cup. I do own a double walled scuttle but rarely use it. So many approaches available.

I keep my pucks in the container they come in, load the brush then lather in my double wall scuttle. Sometimes i face lather when I'm in a hurry
