Thread: poor boy's scuttle

I do the same thing, using a soup bowl.

Yup, I use a ramekin inside a bowl. I use them simply because they were extra stuff in my basement. I've no doubt a scuttle would work better but mine was free so I have (had) more money for hones!

Great idea. I'm gonna give it a try on my next shave.

Thanks,

Mark

Hello, sloppyjoec:

Your scuttle is creative and, I'm sure, it works as well as some of the fancy ones. I admire creativity. Well done.

Just picked up this mug a Bed Bath And Beyond for $5 because the one I was using was a little small. I'm going to put it in a Pyrex bowl from the kitchen that is just the right size for it. This is a soup mug so there will be plenty of room for whipping up lather and it still has a handle.

I like that mug, and i am glad that many of us don't need to spend the long dollar to get a nice straight razor shave.

Thanks I started with this mug and brush, will use the brush until I get a badger hair not from the golden nib and make a better one. The brush is a body shop synthetic. And so far I have just filled my sink up and set the mug in the sink full of hot water. I like your idea of using a bowl on the side better.
