Classic shaving scuttle.

**KristofferBodvin** · 01-07-2009, 06:32 PM

Anyone with any experience on this one?
I would like to try shaving with a scuttle, and this looks like a nice starter.

These look like a Vintage style scuttle, where the water inside is for the brush to sit in until you use it to make the lather on the soap sitting in the top portion... They are more designed for people that lather on the face, than to keep lather warm in like the Moss styles of scuttles... I have a vintage scuttle that belonged to my Pops that I use now and then when I am felling nostalgic...

So basicaly it serves no purpose if you have a sink?

Yeah pretty much my friend, they were invented way back when hot tap water was a true luxury... So ya filled the bottom with hot water from the stove and went to shave...

Would you be able to keep the laether warm in a moss type scuttle?

That is the claim, I have never used one myself, so I will defer to somebody that has first hand experience....

That is the one I bought. It is very nice and on the weekend mornings I will use it. The brush gets nice and hot which in turn makes the lather hot. But you are right having a sink does decrease it's need. I don't have time during the week to boil water and then use it so as a time saver I build the lather on my face directly.

I bought a Moss-type scuttle from Schwarzweisskeramik and it does a real nice job of keeping the lather warm. I love it on these cold winter mornings.

They are very nice but the last thing I need in the morning is another thing to clean....
