I agree with the above posters, the smaller Moss is perfect if being used as advertised as a "parking place" for your brush. I'd buy a matching bowl or something to build lather. (BTW, you can get the same effect the Moss scuttle creates by floating a small pyrex custard dish in a coffee mug filled with piping hot water, but it's awkward and much less aesthetic than Sarah's beautiful pottery work).

I've a regular soap scuttle as well, and personally have found that I prefer creams to the cakes, but the scuttle is an elegant addition to your shaving accoutrements if you are a soap user. So, in hindsight I would have picked a Moss scuttle and matching lather bowl rather than paired the Moss scuttle with an antique soap scuttle.

Live and learn. The soaps are still good for quick morning shaves before I head out the door for work, but my preference is for Vulfix, Taylor or Salter creams.
