Sample part 2 of 3. It's the vegan formula. I love the scent though.

I'm just about to pitch this silicone dog/lather bowl in the trash. I think it would be okay if I was tub loading. I'm not going to be tub loading on travel. Now the Captain's Choice Traveler is on my mind ...

Have a great day!

Been there, done that. The nubs didn't work for me. Its fans seem to be more vocal than the people who have thrown it into the garbage.

I bring a tub with me when I travel, and if I want to use a sample I use the lid to smush it/load it.

I had the same experience with those silicone dog bowls. Works great if I've already loaded a full brush, but very much sucks to use for samples/smushes.
