Don't worry about a bowl being too large to hold in your hand, I've made the best lather ever by resting the bowl on a cloth on bottom of the bathroom sink. The cloth protects the sink and stops the bowl from sliding about, you can really lather the hell out of the soap or cream and whiz up a fab lather in seconds.
Using a shave bowl!

Excellent advice, but next time you do this, please take a picture for us to see your super lather. I use my scuttle now, so with the weight of the water in the scuttle, I sure as heck aint holding it up in the air while I lather, I just keep it on the sink, it don't really move around much because of the weight.
Now, when I bowl lather, then I hold the bowl while whipping, but I can see where your idea might be helpful. But since I like to practice what I preach, I will show you pictures of my bowl and scuttle with lather in them, this means you will have to now lol.

I've used a small coffee mug & a large coffee mug, as well as my go-to Captain's Choice Copper Lather bowl. Ingenious solution putting yours on a towel to keep it in place. Well done!
I bet that Black Cherry smells heavenly!!Excellent advice, but next time you do this, please take a picture for us to see your super lather.

I went and got a $2 small metal bowl from Walmart. It is the right size and depth for bowl lathering and it stays hot for the duration of the shave. Honestly though I only bowl lather when I use Cremo shave cream, most of the time I load straight from the soap container and face lather. I feel if I'm going to spend the time working a lather it might as well be on my face.
With a Chubby 3 you can lather directly in the sink.

Ohhhhhh, it really does Butch Waxx!
It literally was the first soap I tried from Stirling, and the first soap that made me fall in love with Stirling. Now, I can't imagine my life without Stirling soap in it. My new Stirling soaps of the Lemon variety come on the 7th according to tracking, so it will be nice to have those for this coming summer.
And can, you feel, the foam, tonight.... Its a heavenly scent! With Stirling, your lovely black cherry, it is the very best.
I love my Captains Choice bowls and even though I do not have a pic for you today, I think it would be neat to see what your loaded brush looks like before whip and then after.
Happy Friday!

I started face lathering a year or two ago and eliminated the whole bowl hassle and extra time spent getting lather on my face.
Long time face latherer here, for some reason (YouTube probably) I decided to switch to bowl lathering. My results were not bad, but last week gave the face lathering another go and the results for me were much, much better.
Now I have to find a use for these bowls that I bought ......
Would you believe that I fill mine with warm water and soak my brush in all of mine? Then dip the tips in to rewet the lather as I face lather?
The sad thing is, it only took me about 5 YEARS to figure this out!
I might be my Mama's handsomest boy, but my brothers must be smarter...
, I’ll post a pic tomorrow.Handsome don’t gotta be smart, you still win.
Huh, Good thinkin', like it!
