santa wants to know what scuttle to put under the tree for a RAD straight razor nut!!
I was thinking of picking one up and my search is pointing me to the Moss scuttle.
Georgetown scuttles are nice, Joed got one for Father's Day last year. Georgetown Pottery: Shaving
Shipping can be expensive, so for the US: Dirty Bird, EU: Schwarzweisskeramik. Those would be my recommendations.
i just ordered the new g5 from georgetown pottery,when i called him ,he said he was just cooking up the the first batch,he also told me it is the same size as the g4 but with some new tweaks.cant wait to shave with some hot lather!!
Man, I like the looks and quality and design of these, gonna order one right now. Thanks K.Quote:

Find a studio (local college maybe). Inquire about classes.
Make one.
It'll be a much better gift imho.
I can only comment on the Dirty Bird 1.5 scuttle. It serves me well. Works as an excellent lathering bowl and keeps it warm using my normal hot tap water. And it is a fine piece of pottery.
Gentlemen,
I have heard many good things about all the scuttles mentioned in these posts. Mine is the older version of the Georgetown, and I like it. I am sure I will like the Moss, the Dirty Bird and all the rest, too. From what I gather, each has own distinct qualities.
You wouldn't miss with any one of them.
Regards,
Obie
I agree with this. I've had a G4 Georgetown that I loved (replaced because I dropped it :(). I went from that to a Dirty Bird that wasn't quite as nice as the G4 in terms of glaze and looks, but it retained heat much better. I've gotten the G5 since this thread started.... I'm anxiously awaiting its arrival!Quote:
