A Revelation
I was shaving the other day and I was using my Georgetown Pottery G5 scuttle and thinking it wasn't really all that much better at keeping the lather warm than my G3 version.
Now I know people have tested the temperature of the water with thermometers and timed how long it kept warm but just as a practical matter I realized that your face really ain't very good at determining temperature. Actually your hands are way more sensitive. Also if you take a hot towel and put it on your face and leave it for a minute or so and replace it with another it won't feel as hot. So what I realized is the scuttle actually was keeping the lather warmer it's just that my face wasn't a good indicator of that. When I went to clean the brush the lather still felt quite warm to my hands but lukewarm to my face.
So what's the moral of the story? I don't know but I guess the scuttle has to keep the lather way warmer to compensate for a loss of heat detection on your face or maybe spray some ice water on your face between lather applications har har.No matter how many men you kill you can't kill your successor-Emperor Nero
