    What makes you think you can't ... I bet you'll find one at a garden center.

    because I've spent enough time looking in garden centers and around the net, and so far, no luck in the UK. The closest I got was B&Q and they were all out of stock on the web and didn't have them on the shelves.

    It's not like I'm just guessing, I have spent a bit of time looking, I'd be interested if someone did find them though, I could have missed them!

    I voted 'Great Idea'. I'm all for saving money on the extras that make shaving a luxury and putting the money where the rubber meets the road, into the blades. It's great to have hot lather and finding a way to do that on the cheap would save me more money to put into straight razors. Everyone knows I need more of those!

    p.s. I still find that I am one short of having enough straight razors. A new lot purchase is expected soon and I will re-evaluate at that time.

    Jockeys, allow me to offer my condolences on your scuttle's unfortunate departure. I know that nothing would bring it back. However, you may want to consider another option if you would like to replace it: Amazon.com: Norpro Ceramic Dip Server: Kitchen & Dining
    This may be too conventional for your taste but would probably work well.

    perhaps if your new lather heating device breaks you could try a "dip chiller"

    I say if it works for you & you like it, go for it! That said, I LOVE my Schwarzweisskeramik LK...

    Before that, I used a small mixing bowl on top of a coffee cup warmer--accidentally let it get too hot once & deformed one of my (cheap) brushes...
