For a classic barbershop-quality shave, you need a nice shaving brush – and a bowl for the soap or shaving cream you will apply. Not only is a shaving soap bowl practical, many are beautiful porcelain, stainless steel or wood that look nice on your bathroom counter. Take that into account depending on if you’ll place it on a slippery/wet surface, as porcelain is more breakable (although many bowls come with non-slip grips on the bottom). Other features to look for that may appeal to you: Built-in handles, ridges on the inside bottom to help generate more soap later, and a cleaning cloth to keep the outside looking nice. A shaving bowl tends to cost $15 to $30.
