What Lather Bowl Did You Use Today

[mikey517]

An old, empty Proraso green tub. Today I dropped a blop of Old Spice Lime shave cream and lathered up.
Next time it might be Clubman Shave cream...

It beats my old Chobani yogurt container....

My CaYuan Lathering Dish arrived today! It looks gorgeous. Seems I need a few more practices to unleash its potential. I'm still too used to slow-feeder bowl lathering ...

It's already working decent, making enough lather for multiple passes (although probably doesn't look like it in my video above; I used that lather to shave and it's really slick)

After I shaved I tried to lather with my accustomed slow-feeder bowl for a quick comparison. Now I think I should try add more water, and I'm feeling that the effect of those large fins of slow-feeding bowl are not mixing lather with air, but actually extracting lather from the brush, like scraping the brush on the rim of bowl.

Congratulations! It will take a few times using it to get dialed in with making lather. But then... enjoy!!!!!

Old Spice Lime, so nice!
And I for one like Chobani.

Oaken Lab ceramic bowl. Looks great and highly functional with the ridges. Check it out.

I hope one day Ill be able to purchase on in L. I have a medium bowl, but that one turned out to be too small for 26mm knots/my lathering style. Its a shame really, that Cayuen doesnt sell overseas.

The last surviving coffee mug my father had gotten from a set in mid 60’s when he worked at US Steel. They mimic the ladles used to transport molten steel in a plant.

That sounds really cool! If possible, can you share a pic?

They fascinated me as a kid. The 2 “hook” points either side.
so over 40 years, I got the last one. Williams pucks fit easy. The razorock puck I hade to carve down.

Love my heavy stainless Basispet dog bowl.
The size and shape are perfect.
I can swirl around, or push straight down on the sides.
The smoothness and gradual curves make lather in no time.

Thanks for the pic. That is awesome, I love it! And it's got a connection with your Dad, even better.

Looks like a winner! I bet if you set it in warm water for a minute you'd get a nice warm lather.
And I like you quoting John Wayne: "I don't need no stinking ridges!"
