Thread: The Portugal shop Scuttle

Hi all, I just placed an order for my first Scuttle and was wondering what you guys thought. Think I seen a review on this and liked it.

Clay Shaving Scuttle - "Estremoz" V2 - Dual Piece Bowl

Thanks for looking;
Anthony

Looks nice should serve you well.. I have a dirty bird shaving scuttle and one from etsy both are nice.. But the one u purchased looks great good luck..

As long as the interior is large enough to accommodate your brush and the quantity of water is enough to keep it warm.

It looks nice.

looks nice, I like the two piece design

Ya! me to, That's why I went with it. I could just use the bowl if I want to some days.

I think these were the ones razorfeld was telling me about, there that should get him here to comment. My bowls were 2 piece, but mainly because I bought them from a crockery shop but it worked well.

Yes, Ed, I'm here now. I looked at the scuttle in question and wholeheartedly agree it is a good choice. Since I already have a Georgetown 20, a shaving mug made for me by my Granddaughter, a bowl with an inward leaning rim from Goodwill for $2, and several other odd items to experiment with for building a good lather I have, this time, successfully fought my Scuttle Addiction Disorder to a standstill. If I had seen the Portuguese scuttle before the Georgetown that would have been the one I bought. And it is a very, very, reasonable price. Buy it and have fun lathering up a white blizzard.

The scuttle looks terrific but from seeing ceramics from Portugal in other contexts: in a cookware shop, and having a couple of pieces, they did not have a very durable glazes. They might have changed completely with this application, but in general, the glazes I have on the Portuguese ceramics are fragile. I hope I wrong about this scuttle.

thanks Razorfeld, needed to hear that. I'll post my findings when it arrives.
