    Default Bowl right size for brush

    Is this bowl a good size for my brush. I picked it up from target for 1.99.

    depends on if you like lots of lather or a smaller amount. my lather would probably be overflowing from that bowl. ymmv

    Concur with Eudjinn that you'd be far better off with a larger bowl. My recommendation is something on the order of 4.75" or slightly larger diameter and 2.5" depth. Having a short handle is a big plus when whipping up some lather. Squat 16-18oz latte cups, french onion soup bowls (they have handles), or even a stainless Sierra cup will do much better than that number you picked up at Target.

    If that's the size bowl that you like, and works for you, then congrats on finding what you need. Enjoy your shaves.

    I had my first wet shaving experience this weekend, and wish I chose a bigger bowl! I am actually using a ramekin since it fits the soap nicely, but I do wish the sides were taller.
