Thread: Another GP scuttle

You know, I just ordered an GP Scuttle and like you I cannot wait for it to come, but I have noticed one thing from your picture (and other similar in this forum) that the pictures from the website are the old ones and prettier ones. If you notice on yours the colors change very suddenly while the ones in the website are the older ones were the paint "drips" down, a spectacular effect they are clearly not doing anymore. They should change the pictures in the website to the "new" painting standards. I am looking forward to my scuttle but already dissappointed at the art work, its not what they advertise...

I received a Hamada/Persimon GP scuttle about two weeks ago and it looks very much like those pictured on the web site. The upper colors drip down into the lower color. I love warm lather. I am fairly new to the whole wet shaving experience. I think I bought my razor--a Dovo Best Quality with Blond scales--about two months ago. Along with it I bought a short Bismarck hanging strop. I used shaving cream from a can while I waited for the arrival of my online-purchased Vulfix Pure Badger brush and Col. Conk's Bay Rum Soap. After my initial lathering I would hang my brush on its stand. I was surprised at how quickly the lather cooled. The Georgetown Pottery scuttle is large and is therefore useful for creating lather (as when using a cream). There are other scuttles available that incorporate smaller bowls. These would probably keep the brush warmer but would not be large enough for generating lather. I have acquired several shaving soaps and some shaving creams and wanted a vessel that served the dual purposes of warming and whipping. That is why I selected the GP scuttle. Also, I really liked how it looked.

jashobeam that one is really nice, now Im thinking Im going to go with that color.
