High-quality stainless steel makes Barbero’s bowl. According to tradition, this bowl is made by hand and polished to a perfect shine and easy to clean surface. It measures 3.5 inches in diameter, and it is only 2.28 inches tall. This shaving bowl is small in size, but it is wide enough at the top to hold plenty of lather. At the same time, it does not have a handle attachment. Rather, the neck connecting the base of the bowl to the bowl itself is shaped to be held firmly in hand. The total weight of this bowl is only about 4.8 ounces, so it is light to hold, despite being made out of stainless steel.

There are a few qualities to look for in a shaving soap bowl. First and foremost, materials need close examination. Some bowls are made out of wood, and they only work best if the wood has been treated and sealed. Untreated wood can be rather porous, which means it will hold onto moisture. This situation can lead to bacteria growth, which must be avoided at all costs.
Metal and ceramic shaving bowls prevent this bacteria growth altogether. Traditionally, ceramic has been used in the past because it cleans easily. It is also extremely durable, but dropping it too hard might cause it to shatter. Metal bowls beat out the bacteria and are less likely to shatter. However, they can corrode over time due to improper cleaning.
The shape of a soap bowl should also be considered. Some soap bowls are small and shallow. Going with this shape might not be a wise idea for people looking to make a lot of lather or for those shavers wanting to shave a large area. For stability purposes, some soap bowls come with a small handle on the side. In order for this handle to be effective, it needs to be made from the same material as the rest of the bowl and fuse into the bowl’s construction. Handles that are simply attached on by glue, a screw, or a nail might not hold up over time.
