Old-time scuttle question
I bought an old-time scuttle on eBay, and I'm wondering how these things were used.
The little bowl on top with the three holes--is that for a brush or soap or what? I filled the scuttle up with hot water this morning and set my brush in the cup. It kept the lather warm throughout the shave, but not as warm as a latte mug in the sink would. The cup was also a bit small for my brush--it would stay in when I stood it up in there, but it wanted to fall over.
The cup looks like it's the right size for a cake of shaving soap, but I can't see the use of putting soap in there. :shrug:
