You're welcome. There are so many types of scuttles confusion sets in, at least it did to me. I use my antique style scuttle to hold a Palmolive shave stick that I softened enough in a microwave to form it into the dished top part. Arko works well also without the need to soften it. So it can be more than a decoration still. I have a modern Robert Becker scuttle too but it is gathering dust as I am now a confirmed cold water shaver and face lather. It did work well to create a lather in and keep it warm while shaving though.

May try that with some nice soft cella or something. Will just have to figure out a lid so it doesn't dry out.
