Shaving Bowl pics

Part of shaving variety for me are bowls. I like to wander at flea markets and usually find an interesting bowl for a 1€ or 2€.
Share all kind of your interesting bowls.




Wooden one

Nice thread because I'm always looking for different types of shaving bowls

Wooden Miso Bowl from Amazon. Cost about $7 on Prime. I marred the smooth interior to enhance mixing.
Bowl has an elevated rim on bottom that makes for a convenient hand-hold when mixing.

This is my current favorite. Picked up two of these at a yard sale for $0.50. Pretty sure they're soup mugs, but they fit my hand perfectly, and are just the right depth.

Gosh, I have several miso bowls, but I never use them anymore.... Face lathering is the bomb, but YMMV.

I face lather, too. But I use the Miso bowls to load my brush and I do some mixing in the bowl. The bowl works great.

Yeah, that's right, you can cram soap into them and use as a loading platform. I'm a fan of containers with a lid, I'm not a fan of dust in my more seldom used soaps(Williams...).

$3 at Safeway

I worried about particles too when using soap in a bowl. I leave mine open on the counter. But, I just toss a little water in the top and rinse it out before loading my brush to face lather. I've never had a problem with particles or dust because the water rinses out whatever landed on top.

You'd probably have a ball perusing the LOBOS thread. Thanks for sharing the nice pics!

I love the wooden ones, especially Tony's.
I rarely use my bowls, but I do have several nice soap dishes I've collected from yard sales and shops over the years. I'll get some pictures up later.

There are some great images of bowls, mugs and scuttles in the threads linked below:

My custom Dirty Bird Bill Bowl

S-Scuttle from Schwarzweisskeramik

Love this size, it gives more space for lather

Findings from Turkey trip

I too am always looking for cool bowls when I go to estate sales and thrift stores and the like. Here are three that I've found in the last few months. I spent a whopping $4.75 total. Good times.

I'm waiting for someone to post a picture of a suribachi bowl. I'm primarily a face latherer, but there is something enticing about those bowls......might make a bowl latherer out of me yet.

I've been eying this Helen Chen suribachi bowl on Amazon. It's made for grinding seeds; but looks like it'd make a great lathering bowl. It's under $11 and measures 5.5" across the top.
