    I'm looking forward to getting mine. One of the major reasons I got into this "sport" was the appeal of a hot and thick lather. I crave it, and from what I have gathered, this is just the best way to get it. I don't really mind the clean up. In the end this will be a lot easier then crouching over my sink filled with hot water, trying keep the mug from tipping over. Plus, I will have my sink back for things like hot towels and the like.
    I currently have to take my lather out of the sink to get my towel soaked with the hot water, and then I have to drain some of the water back out to keep the mug from tipping when is set it back into the sink. It is such a hassle. Nope, the moss scuttle will largely be a convenience, even if I have to clean it. But that's just my own situation.

    Well - no, it's not the best way to get it - at least not in my experience


    1. the best by far is a Bulgarian heavy thick pot called Gyuveche used for a special meal. We have a set of 6 or so, it's like an individual portion-sized spherical bowl with narrow opening and a little lid. Takes and keeps heat like a champ, designed and made (from special clays treated in a certain way, etc.) for that particular purpose. Float it in the sink and it's much better than the Moss Scuttle. However, my wife does not appreciate me using one for shaving It's not sold in US so I can't just buy one more

    2. A bowl and lid I got from a gourmet store also work better - bowl is big enough to lather in (vs the scuttle) and then you close the lid w/ the brush in, float it in the sink - again better


    Obviously, both of these don't have the cachet of the Moss Scuttle...

    Cheers

    I am inclined to agree with Ivo on this. A bowl with the soap in floating in the hot water in the sink is a large version of the Moss and cheaper. I use a scuttle now though is only my bowing to pressure from my wife about using her noodle bowl for a soap dish
    To be fair to the users of the Moss scuttle, it adds another ritual to the experiance
