So, I've run into a new problem... I've finally hit my stride with the Boar brush, and it's giving me fantastic lather... However, Now I've reached a new problem...

I have a SchwarzWeissKeramic scuttle which I love very much, however, I am a slow shaver, so here's my problem. The schwarz has a slightly larger spout than most scuttles, and no way of sealing that spout (since it has a dipping basin) Here's my problem. I've found that, if I want to have still-hot lather at the end of my shave, since I take a while, I need to put very very hot water in my scuttle.. Today I noticed, while building my lather, that very very hot water RUINS my lather. So, I tried with less hot water, and had great lather, but a very low-warmth lather (it wasn't cold, but it wasn't feelably warm to the hand)

I'm wondering if any of you have found the right way to prep water for a scuttle, so it doesn't kill the lather, but still keeps the lather warm... Or if, perhaps, I'd be better off with a Georgetown Pottery scuttle, which would be able to keep warmth longer at a lower temp, thanks to the cork... What do you guys think?

-note, this is mostly on campus, at home my water is very hot, but not microwave hot, so it only breaks lather down a touch, without being cool by the end of the shave-

Thanks.

Cheers,
Jeremy
