Thread: Brand new toy!

Maxi,

I`ve never heard of Robert Becker until now, but it looks like he does nice work. Does he only sell through e-bay or does he have an online store as wellÉ

Ryan,

I'm fairly sure that his Ebay store is the main (if not only) outlet for his ceramics.

I did a test lather yesterday, and it seems to perform well. For the price, I couldn't say no ($29 USD).

Here's some test pics. I whipped up a test lather last night.

The hot water comes out of my tap at approximately 120f. The bowl and chamber were both filled and left for 5 minutes, emptied and the chamber was filled again, regular tap water both times. I loaded the brush for 10 seconds with proraso green, and whipped the lather. The lather only pic is from about 30 seconds of swirling. The final pic is about 45-50 seconds of swirling and whipping. I left the lid on without interruption to see when the suds would begin to break down. At the seven minute mark, they began to disappear.

I'll be doing another test this afternoon while shaving, same setup, but with a thermometer, just to see what temp the suds reach.

That looks great and I agree the color is nice, gives it an antique feel. It looks like it worked out great for you. Ugh. I wish I had more space.

Thats very nice, the glaze on it is a floating blue its one of my favorite glazes.

Yup, it looks good, performs well...what more can I ask for. I think it's great. That first shave where I put hot lather on my face was a very different feeling!

Beautiful scuttle. That design seems to be the closest to ideal of any that I have seen. Can you post a link to his store? I can't seem to find it on ebay. Thanks.

It's called Robert's Ceramic Feats of Clay.

Here's the link. I'd suggest checking often, as I was on one evening and there was only one scuttle, which didn't really appeal. The next morning while having a coffee, I checked again....and this one was posted.

Have fun!

Maxi. Thank you very much! No wonder my search for Robert Becker Scuttles wasn't yielding anything helpful.

No worries. Good luck!
