Thread: Scuttle alternative...

Gotcha. So you were saying that "dry heat"--going straight from the plate to the bottom of the mug to the tips of the brush--could damage the hairs, while "wet heat"--from hot tap water--wouldn't.

I think you're right. I've found there's a teaspoon or so of water that runs out of my brush and into the mug, and this is probably helping prevent any problems. I shut the plate off shortly after that water evaporates, hopefully before my brush starts to cook.

The mug in the sink technique works pretty well, too; I was using that for a while. But it still takes me a while to shave, so the water was getting cold. I also sometimes had water slop into my mug full of lather...

yeah something like that lol, yeah i did notice i seem to flood my mug every now and again and also the mug starts to wobble, who ever designed Plug holes is a pain in the back side.

exactly. bowl in the sink is OK for the first pass or so, but to me not ideal.

i'm still searching for the best solution. nice warm lather is wonderful but the last thing i want is to ruin my expensive brush.
