Thread: Moss scuttle review

While the water is usually close to boiling when I put it in the scuttle, I usually leave it for a while to do other things while it cools down a little - I also use the same water to pour into a bowl with a towel for my face. Of course, I cannot place immediately boiling water on my face, so the towel and the scuttle cool down a bit before I lather up in a separate bowl, lather my face, put the brus full of lather into the scuttle, and retrieve the towel to place on my face - SO you see that I wait several minutes before actually using the scuttle -

Is it HOT, yes, you bet. Is it too hot to touch the bottom of the inside bowl, no - just barely though - I would never put the raw brush in the scuttle without water or lather either, which I think protects the brush from the heat too...I just received a B&B Ebony silvertip that I have no intention of frying to a crisp...but I get your point. I can whip up a pretty good lather in the scuttle as well, it just doesn't stay very long when it is hot.

Oh - that's very different from what understood. As long as you leave it for a while and use the same heat on your face - there should be no problems for the brush.

But there are people who'd stick it in right in the boiling water, believe it or not
