Scuttle recommendation? Soap size for scuttles?
Hello warm lather friends,
Have also noticed the advantages of hot lather, hot water etc. and comtemplate acquiring a scuttle, perhaps this one,
http://www.classicshaving.com/catalo...952/431831.htm
especially now that autumn has arrived with daily temperatures not exceeding 17 degrees C. www.classicshaving.com and other vendors offer several scuttles. Which do you use and recommend? Personally, am always worried about porcellan shaving items, fearing that wet, slippery hands will drop them. That is why I use "plastic" shaving mugs. A breakable scuttle would make me nervous, reduce concentration on the blade and thus impair the shaving experience.
Also, I prefer a mug with a relatively high rim to avoid lather slopping over and making a mess. How do the soap sections of scuttles rate in this respect?
Another question is soap cake size. My stocks are generally the big size soaps that need a big mug. Classicshaving only recommend their special "scuttle size" soaps for scuttles. Do other sizes, i.e. normal and large, not fit into scuttles?

When does "warm" become "hot"?
Yes I agree, Hal. Might have been better to say "warm". But the thrust of my questions is different. "Warm" for some may be "cool" for others, etc.
Hope someone will post more info. on scuttles.

Hot pot? Latte cup?? Huh?
Hello sam,
me stupido. "Latte" is the Italian word for "milk" but what exactly is a latte cup? Could you post a link to a picture of one, please?
What exactly is a "hot pot"? How about a link to one as well.
Thanks!
BTW "scuttle" is also a word I first saw here and at classicshave. Was more familiar with "kettle".
