Schwarzweisskeramikwonder!

So after reading about scuttles until I got tears in my eyes I finally found what I really wanted. A totally handmade scuttle with a beautiful design, perfect finish, large water reservoir and suitable for a very large shaving brush. The Schwarzweisskeramik XL scuttle is a HUGE scuttle, but it is easily used anyway because of the large 4 finger grip. If you want additional support you can put your other hand under the genious "brush basin".

The SW weighed in at 1,2 kilos empty and 2 kilos excactly filled with water. Compared to my old Georgetown 4, this is really a monster when it comes to delivering warm lather. I understand why, because the GT took 0,15 liters of water - the SW XL takes 0,8 liters. 5 times more water than the Georgetown scuttle. So my new favorite shaving item delivers wonderful warm lather for a full 20 minute shave even with hot tap water only. (If you prewarm it a few minutes while brushing your teeth or take a shover).

The design is imo beautiful, the finish is excellent, the overall quality seems outstanding and the new owner, me is just happy! This is a King in the scuttle world, and paying 89 Euros including shipping is actually quite cheap when what you receive a week later is a piece of art made by a German pottery master!

Take a look at my new pride in the bathroom:)

congratulations!
You are quite right, this is THE scuttle to have IMO.
After I bought my Large in white a few months back, the others got retired.
It will serve you wonderfully for years to come.

Yes it's a great scuttle. I have the LE edition he came out with a few months ago. I do think it's the ultimate scuttle.

Great scuttle, I got mine from our own " Shaved zombie" off the classifieds, at about 1/2 the $$. yay

Wow that is huge now you just need a bigger straight to go with it! Something in the 8/8 wedge range should do nicely as the razor in the picture looks miniscule next to that bucket you are refering to as a scuttle.:)

Impressive scuttle!!
Yet another item for my wishlist (the wife won't be pleased :D ).
Enjoy it thouroughly!!

Regards,

RazorBack

I know, I have a Thiers-Issard Historic La Mouette Bone 6/8 in my sight. Anyone has any experience with that straight?

And thank you for the best wishes with my new scuttle. I get more satisfied for each day, THE Scuttle I think!

hmm...so you can use lather in the bigger part and whiskey n a straw in the spout!..:bow

Very cool looking..but why is the spout soo big?

If I understand your question correct - it is because you can wet the hairs on your brush in the spout during shaving so you always have the right mix of wather in your lather.

If you buy this scuttle I`m certain you will be very satisfied, I just love it!

Looks like I just found my new scuttle! Thanks, because I have been looking for a great manufacturer for what feel like an eternity. no more coffee cup for me! ;)

I did something similar in reading up on all the various scuttles and I came to the same conclusion - it's the one I want!

I also like the little soap dishes he does on his website and the ability to mix and match.

It's all part of his system for storing and using soap. I haven't used them but I have a scuttle and its a top performer.

I've been looking into getting a scuttle but I want one big enough to make lather in and have heard the most are not so. Surely this one is large enough.....????right:confused:
