Thread: Kerosene heated shaving scuttle?

I saw this on the Classic Camp Stove forum. I not sure what to think, it is interesting.

Nope
I think it is dangerous. Burning paraffin seems dangerous when spilled

No more dangerous than any other oil lamp/lantern or even a candle. Just use common sense (don't sit the thing on the edge of a counter, etc).

I had never seen anything like this. Is it the forerunner to a Barber's lather machine, or is it something some dandy would own. Is it even a scuttle?

Very cool that someone came up with such a thing. Nice piece to put on the shelf.

This might be useful for shaving if you were on a camping trip out in the woods.
I'll stick with a lather bowl and hot water from the tap if I'm in the house.
Maybe it would make a nice decoration if you have room in the shave den.
