Thread: Scuttle

Be careful not to write-off creams, though. They have their desired purposes, too! They work well in conjuction with a nice soap to give you a great, smooth lather. Also, they take a bit less time to lather, cutting time off your shave if you're in a hurry (which I can be, some mornings).

You really can't compare them because they are all so different. Castle Forbes for instance requires a pea sized dollop to create incredible lather and it would last a very long time. I think in the end they last about the same comparing equal quality products.

As far as a lathering bowl is concerned, yes modern scuttles lather in the scuttle itself. The small bowls like Oskar sells are to grate soap and load up the brush that way. it's part of his "system".
