I think I waisted a full day searching for the perfect shave cup balance between price and usefulness, but this is the one I finally chose. It has the bumpy bumps on the bottom which make it lather up faster and it really works great. I use the shave cream from Aidan Gill and not soaps and I’m very happy with how quickly it foams up. I was using a cup without any bumpy bumps before and I couldn’t get a good lather of foam. Bumpy bumps for life baby! This one was reasonably priced compared to others with bumpy bumps in it. It also retains heat pretty well. I put hot hot water in it for 5 minutes and then do the lather and its warmish, defiantly not cold for sure. It does just fine for me. Great quality to value ratio compared to others I looked at.
