Now if I put a soap in there to start the lathering it defeats the purpose of the depresions. So is this modern scuttle ment to be only used with creams (something I'm not familar with) or how do you use soap with it?
My opinion is that a modern scuttle is better suited to creams, however, you should never lather on top of a cake of soap. That's just a waste. Instead, you load the brush with soap, an then you either move to a lathering bowl or lather on your face.
