I am a big fan of foam bowls, I would be interested in your versions. I'll start with the ones I use.

At the top left is a handmade ceramic bowl with a special thumb rest.
The orange one is a folding bowl that I take with me when I spend the night in a mountain hut.
Below left is a 3D bowl that a friend printed for me.
The white one with lionheads, is usually a traditional soup cup from Bavaria.

In the search for the optimal shaving bowl, I tried a few things.

Here’s a few of my vintage ones.

@Spider Nice collection! Wow
Which one do you use as a “daily driver”?

None. Just from my collection. I’m primarily a face latherer, but do use simple bowls from time to time. I’ll post more pics later.

My new one just arrived (used item). Captains Choice Obsidian

I have and love this set from SchwartzWiessTechnik in Germany. You can either use the left piece alone, or put hot water in the bowl and the the left piece fits inside, making it like a scuttle.
The small bowl is intended for shave soap.

@HMan I also once had a bowl from S/W Keramik. They produced great goods. Unfortunately they have stopped manufacturing

SWK, that's right, I thought something was off, but it's been years since I got it.
It's a shame they stopped making shave gear, they had so many great variations on the classic scuttle.
