    Bowl if I use a bowl but you need to change the question to '...bowl, scuttle, mug or face...'

    I've been face lathering for several years, only using a bowl on occasions, never really saw the need for a scuttle.

    A couple weeks ago I broke down and ordered a Georgetown G12 scuttle. I will probably still mainly face lather, but the scuttle was well worth it's money, so much better than using a bowl, and nothing beats hot lather on a cold winter day

    I ordered a G12 myself, it's currently in transit. From the pics, it looks like a really quality piece of gear!

    Congrats!

    I'm very happy with mine, of course I don't have anything to compare it to but I think it's quality is very good, relatively light, and easy to use.
    I was a bit conserned the G12 would be on the small side for me, but it's just perfect, and it retains heat very well. (Again, nothing to compare it to but my previous bowls)

    It was made by Denise Aspinall (Aspinall Pottery) in Canning, Nova Scotia.
    Nova Scotia Potters Guild - Members
    https://plus.google.com/113958560340...ut?gl=ca&hl=en

    Denise really did an amazing job and I think it looks great. She made the scuttle thick with a large reservoir (to keep heat), scored the inside of the bowl to help it to foam up quickly and the top bowl is large enough that you're not hitting the sides as you lather (and a lip so that no lather comes out)
    I can't overstate how amazing this scuttle is!!!!

    Default Robert's Feats of Clay Scuttle

    I received yesterday afternoon my scuttle from Robert's Feats of Clay Robert's Feats of Clay - Home

    I now own three scuttles. A Dirty Bird, a Georgetown G20 and now this beauty from Robert.

    My opinion is that Robert makes the best scuttle. This is MY opinion based on my needs and usage.

    The Dirty Bird is too massive and heavy. The clay is so thick it absorbs all the heat from the hot water. Also it has no way to seal the hot water to help heat retention. The web design in the bowl is too deep and rough. Its killing my silvertip brushes. That being said it is very well made and should last two lifetimes

    The Georgetown G20 is very beautifully made but if you want the artisanal look this is not for you. However the design is very good, heat retention also good. Its light and easy to handle. Has a pewter-clad rubber stopper to help retain heat. Very well designed. Overall this is a very fine product. But, it lacks that hand-made look and feel

    Robert's Feats of Clay is my favorite. Its light, has a stopper to help with heat retention, a deep big bowl, web design is not too deep and because it is hand made has the artistinal look and feel. My favorite scuttle of the three
