Thread: What's the word Dirty Bird?

Update...Dirty Bird refers to their "brush scuttle" (the piece in the center in the pic) as designed "for face latherers". I found tonight that it also makes an excellent vessel to soak the brush while preparing to make uberlather in the shaving scuttle. Hot water below keeps water in the top piece warm while the brush hydrates. Now I can keep my sink bowl clear...I don't have to float bowls or soak a brush. That's a nice advantage, especially when I want want to hit the face with hot water just prior to applying the lather...no bowls to move out of the way.

Also, my uberlather is better than ever in the scuttle. Insanely full, rich, thick, hydrated and smooth...and extra warm...for all three passes. Loving the Dirty Bird!

You be a lathering fool now.

Congratulations, that is a great set up. Enjoy!

You're absolutely right about this. I purchased the crosshatch webbing for mine. I'm glad I learned how to make a lather in a regular shaving cup before this came in because, with the scuttle, making lather is now way too easy.

Those pieces look really nice. I have been talking to a local potter who's work I admire about making a scuttle and set for me. What are the rough dimensions of the bowl (in the scuttle that is) and what would you consider to be the ideal overall dimensions for a scuttle? What improvements, if any, would you want to see in the designs that are now on the market?

Thanks.
