I am going to assume you mean a scuttle like this one Vintage Shaving Scuttle by Wade of England | eBay .

As far as I know with those you put your water in the body and wet your brush through the hole. The soap puck goes in the dished top and you load your wet brush there and face lather. I believe some soap pucks are still made sized and shaped to fit the dished top part. That is an old style scuttle and they work pretty well, at least mine do.



There are other types of scuttles made where you load your brush with soap/cream and then create your lather on a bowl. These are usually double walled and you fill that space with hot water to keep your lather made in the top part warm.



They all work but in slightly different ways.
