I'm torn between two and was hopeing you guys and gals could help me pick the right one.

Dirty Bird 1.5 $54 + 15 shipping

SRP $45 + shipping (not sure what it will be)

I like warm lather and since the airline nicely broke my last setup that I can't replace (yes I'm still mad about it)

I often super lather and once I use up some of my soaps I will be playing with gssixguns uberlather recipe. I understand that the SRD one is too small to actually mix in so I would be mixing a seperate bowl and then transfering over..... How well does this work or does the first bowl take most of the heat out of the lather making it a moot point.

Which brings me to the Dirty Bird 1.5. I understand that it is big enough to mix in. How well is the heat retention? will it work well for when I face lather with my CF or the Bomb?

I do not want to nuke the scuttle, sorry but walking from the kitchen to the bathroom with a hot piece of pottery while the 17# cat trys to trip me is not what I consider safe.

Does anyone have any good input that could help me in my decision making process?????
