Thread: Straight Razor Designs Scuttle

Gentlemen,

Modern scuttles come in generally two types: for making lather or for keeping the brush warm. Through the years, I have tried scores of scuttles, including Schwarzweisskeramik, Dirty Bird, Georgetown, Straight Razor Designs (SRD), Moss and Becker, among others. I have liked or disliked some things about each. All have been quality, however, and I am glad to have tried them.

Since I no longer bowl lather, my scuttle of choice is one to keep my brush warm. The model I have come to really like is the SRD scuttle, which is strictly for keeping your brush warm. The handmade workmanship and the size are impressive. What I especially like about it is that the hot water tank reaches almost to the top, thus surrounding the deep bowl. For a scuttle, this is an excellent feature, in addition to having thick walls.

Good stuff.

A thing of beauty for sure. sniff, sniff. I've never had a scuttle.

That's nice, mine is a Becker from years ago...not sure if he does them any more. He did it by my size requests as I bowl lather and leave my brush in the bowl while shaving. I wanted the cross in it to aid with building a lather. Not really sure if it's enough to really help.

Hello wee scuttle i'm falling for you
You look so damn pretty and the Thater brush too.

Mother Earth Mother earth your colours make me grin
I must get on the blower and give Lynn a ring

I want you i need i want you so bad
If i cannot have you it will make me sad

Why oh why have i fallen for you

I think because Obie has one
Now i want one too

The scuttle looks very nice but I want to see more of what is on the counter behind it

They say Obie's secret stash is so secret even the NSA can't figure a way in to see it.

Slasher, my dear friend, that is fine poetry. Keats, eat your heart out. Nicely done.

Thank you, Matt. I will publish some new photos of the shave den tomorrow.

Spendur, my friend, North Korean spies everywhere. Oy!

SRD scuttled are excellent at retaining warmth. I sold mine when I was strictly bowl lathering and wish I had not as I am moving more and more toward face lathering. I did obtain a custom Moss hoping it could do as well as the SRD pot and have come pretty close to the warmth with added ridges.
