Just thought I'd share the new Dirty Bird Scuttle I received today. This is my first scuttle, is this what you veterans would expect for a scuttle?

With those swirls, I should make amazing lather, afterall, I use a smooth normal salad bowl and it works fine! I can't wait to try this in the next few days.

I never thought I'd get scuttle envy but here goes, I got scuttle envy!! Its' B-E-A-utiful!!! My only question is were did you get and what was the going price, if that's not out of line to ask??!!
Enjoy many, many great shaves with it!!
tinkersd of SRP!
Julie makes a good product, I think you'll be very happy with it...
I have her 1.5 scuttle, and just ordered a double scuttle from her, The opening for lather building is wider than 6 inches...

I offered to let her go once I determined the business was actually the residence and she just woke up to speak to me. She was gratious enough to talk to me about the different options she had for at least an hour, and I ended up ordereing the scuttle posted above. I asked for a uniform dark color and she was gracious enough to deliver. The swirls in the bottom readily offer up lather and the nearly 4.5" opening offers enough room to swirl and swirl to your delight. The bowl below that holds hot water holds much more than I ever expected and can honestly say it could keep my lather hot for an hour or so--I assume.
I ran a sample lather and I was not disappointed in any way.

That looks awesome bodach, any chance of a pic with the two parts seperated? At the moment I'm deciding between the straight razor designs mug or one of these. Ah decisions, decisions...
That looks great and thanks for sharing!

That's a great looking scuttle. I really like the more solid color. Enjoy!
I love my DB scuttle. Works great.
This scuttle is a single piece design. The hot water is poured into the mouth opening in the front.Quote:

You guys are a hazard to my pocketbook! :D
Hello, Bodach:
Yes, indeed, you made the right choice with the Dirty Bird scuttle. You will be happy with it. That is the smaller one, the original, and not the 1.5, is that correct? I no longer have my 1.5, but when I did, I loved it. One of these days I might order the smaller one.

Obie
Here's a pic (left to right) of GTP's G5 scuttle, DirtyBird's 1.5, and Diry Bird's ernormous "Double Scuttle" I love the double, The extra room is great for building lather, and it holds 4 cups of water. It the only scuttle I've owned that actually works properly, and keeps my lather warm+ throughout my shave...I love these pics, you can see how small the GTP scuttle is compared to the others....My Rooney barely clears the walls of the GTP.
Zib...thanks a bunch for the pics! Now I know what to order, the double scuttle it will be!
That double is freaking HUGE. it looks like it can keep the 1.5 warm for you!Quote:

I think the large Oskar scuttle from Germany is even larger than the DB Double.
The dirty bird scuttles look awesome. I'm awaiting on the arrival of my lather bowl I ordered. Can't wait!
