Thread: My New Aquisition

Good morning Gents

I am now the very proud owner of a GTP Scuttle and Silver tip badger brush. Some of you may recognise Teddy, the stand and brush hand crafted by Mr Brad Moroni, but you guys can call him Icedog!

I used the scuttle and brush for the first time yesterday and it was divine, seriously! My experience with brushes prior to this was a boar bristle and man can you tell the difference. The brush (one of the sexiest I have seen) has a really good weight to it, you know when you have it in your hand. It lathers up beautifully (and Tink, no wet dog smell either!)

The scuttle itself has provided me with some of the best lather I have managed to make, I'm still learning with the whipping up process and as I tend to be a little heavy handed previous lather making attempts came out badly due to me using too much pressure. The ridges were excellent for helping whip up the foam and both were a pure delight to use on my legs.

I can tell I'm getting better at shaving in general as I came away with only 3 nicks on my left leg and one on my right knee, Spike did bump my arm which is why my right knee got it, but that was because we were both shaving in our tiny bathroom at the same time. I was also rushing slightly due to trying to get ready to take small person trick or treating.

The set was well worth the money I am really impressed with the whole bundle (Bradzilla you rock!) and of course Spike now wants to try the scuttle out. He has a Badger brush so he can keep his mits off my silver tip, but I may allow him to use the scuttle, hehehehehe.

Hiya Silver - Nicely accessorised & yes, Silvertips are the shiznit.
You play nice now & share with Spike. Looks like you can make ample lather in that scuttle.

very nice setup you have there Silver. Use it in good healty for many years! Cudos to Icedog.

I am very happy you are happy. If you have any issues or questions or complaints or anything at all, please let me know ASAP. I want only happy customers.

That looks great!! Congrats!

*whistles* If I was a rich man.....

Man I am SOOOO jealous! Good purchase Silver and heroic work Brad!

Well I have no choice but to share now, Spike knocked his lather bowl into the bath on Saturday evening causing it to shatter!!!!!

It was a complete accident, I swear!! I was retrieving small person's bath toys from the high shelf over the bath while the bath was running. There was a washbag maliciously lurking in front of it which I did not see & "CRASH!" OH BUGGER!said I. It took my £1.50 rice bowl, new Dovo Prima Klang & TI brush into the bath. The razor & brush survived, thank the Gods. The rice bowl was no more. Ho hum. I will have to save my pennies for one of Oskar's creations....

In the meantime, I will have to use the GP scuttle & am hugely looking forward to using it for the first time tomorrow morning.

Icedog, Teddy is awesome & the brush is utterly beautiful. One day I will get my paws on it & give you a proper guy review of its awesomeness. Teddy's lines are clean, yet organic & the foot is practical for a wet scuttle, but very funky too. (Silver dried the scuttle before replacing it.) The feature which admire the most is the hinge in the knee that allows you to remove the brush without catching it on the scuttle. That & the fact that it is completely & utterly the most elegant & beautiful thing in the house. Apart from all my art, of course


Mark, all is going according to plan & Silver is rounding out very nicely indeed. The first, dating, scan is on Friday. Squid will be making his/her/their debut here Friday evening. My money is on twins.....

Spike ~ at least the more expensive items survived unscathed.
A rice bowl is easily replaced. No biggee.
