Boy, I'd really like one of those SWK scuttles.
The problem that I have is we just have a pedestal sink and no counter space.
Knowing me, something that big would quickly turn into an airborne hockey puck. They are too beautiful and expensive to take the risk.
The Suribachi bowl is just the right size and the prices on eBay are all under $30.00, which I found very compelling. Of course I had to have the most expensive one because it's blue and matches the bathroom.
The bowl did another outstanding job today. It's a keeper!

ok let me say ive tried a few, great ones to ok ones,, but my favorite bowl if I do bowl lather which is rare, now is a cheap Wal Mart salsa bowl,, there plastic and are rough inside and out. so it whips up lather inside and is easy to hold onto outside. 2.97$ comes in 4 colors for the bathroom décor!
forgot if you find them at the Goodwill store or Salvation Army stores they usually run around .25$ so from my 85$ scuttle to a .25$ bowl , that out lathers them all just saying Tc“ I,m getting the impression that everyone thinks I have TIME to fix their bikes”

I was with the wife in Walmart today and seen those bowls. Was thinking about getting one for travel but didn't. Well, they will be around so maybe next trip.
It's just Sharpening, right?

Thanked: 3228If anyone is interested in a SWK scuttle I'd get one now as it has been reported in another forum that the maker will be going on a 2 year hiatus from making them. At least check out the availability.

Well, to complicate matters for me, I just watched a video of a guy using the SWK XL scuttle on a pedestal sink very similar to mine.
He had no problems and handled it rather easily.
Hmmm....methinks it's time to reanalyze this situation and get in under the wire, especially if they are going on hiatus for an extended amount of time.
I did send an email to see what's available.

Check for seconds/mistakes. A touch of color in the wrong spot can save ya a handful of cash sometimes.
