I like this Marko, I'm going to tell the guys at work who wetshave to save their JD Breakfast Bowls and try this. I use a blue plastic salsa bowl that I bought at Grocery Outlet for 99 cents. Nowadays we have to find ways to stretch a dollar while still getting the job at hand done.

Yup, not everything has to break the bank does it? There is a definite pleasure in finding something that is both functional and cheap.

That's what traditional wetshaving was supposed to be, lol. It did start out that way till I caught the various acquisition disorders. Oh well", the rent and bills are still getting paid.

I have one of these Jimmy Dean breakfast bowls pretty regularly for breakfast.I've always though that the bowl would be good to lather in. They comes in a black plastic bowl with the logo embossed on the bottom:

So I decided to test my theory. I loaded my Satin Tip brush with La Toja for about 5 seconds and began to lather with a few drops of water in the bowl.This is after about 30 seconds

A little more water and another 30 seconds.

Added water twice more and about a minute later

A lather bowl for the frugally minded.
Cheers!


kwisher,
A word of advice.

The first time I made a lather I used a kitchen soup bowl.

BE SURE TO RINSE IT THOROUGHLY.
THEN RINSE IT AGAIN.

Does your lather Snap, Crackle and Pop?

linuxguile#6 ,

Don't feel badly.
When I first started wet/traditional shaving I used a soup bowl for my lather.
It worked quite well but I have never lived down the soapy chicken soup.
