I think I may have over done it. This thing is so enormous, I think I'm having trouble getting it warm.

Let me explain my previous set up:

I'd put my brush in a coffee mug, fill it and the sink, and let it sit for 5-10 while I took a shower. First pass shaving was nice and hot, second luke warm, third cold.

Now with the new scuttle, I follow the same process, except I refill the scuttle with hot water and I'm ending up with 3-4 luke-warm passes

I'm not sure if its just because my bathroom tends to a frigid 50-60 degrees, if my water is not hot enough (I just use the tap, but its hot enough to steam and cause discomfort). My brush is also quite small for this thing.

It's definitely a beautiful peace of art, but I'm thinking maybe I should have gone with a small.

Any ideas?
