I got around to getting myself a safety razor, brush, and soap a little while ago, and I'm very happy with no longer having to deal with awful machine shaves. However, I haven't settled with a good bowl for mixing up the soap. Currently I just go for something from the kitchen cabinet, and none of them are very convenient and it's all very breakable making me uncomfortable bringing it on top of the bathroom sink where things easily slide around.

Does anyone have recommendations either specifically for which bowl to get, or more generally what to look for in a good bowl? Shape, material, and stuff like that. Ideally I'd try to find something second hand, but right now I'm not even sure exactly what to look for.

I don't want anything plastic or American.
