    Talking Brand new toy!

    This just arrived in the mail today. Scuttle and brush soaker from Robert Becker. The bowl is approximately 4 inches wide, and about 3 inches deep.

    I don't think I'll have time to test drive it tomorrow, but I certainly will on Saturday.

    I'm really digging the paintjob on this! I know we all like new toys, so I thought I'd share a few pics.

    I'll post again after I take it for a spin.

    +1. I would have already made crazy test lathers with that.

    On another note, my RB Scuttle has been used everyday since I got it. But now that I know he makes a cool looking scuttle with a "brush holder," I may need a new one.

    Very nice...enjoy.

    I literally read some threads here, and few over on another forum, went to check his Ebay store out and there was nothing that appealed. The very next morning, there was a picture of this one.....which promptly caused me to press the "Buy Now" button!

    I could enjoy using that setup!

    I think those who design these shaving bowls should add a little lip at the inside top of the bowl. When my brush gets full of lather, a little lip or extension or ring would help scraping lather out of the brush back into the bowl.

    I ran into a cooking bowl with this feature, and use that bowl exclusively now. The manufacturers added the lip simply to give the lid (which I don't use) something to rest on.

    Dang you, I was being so patient for mine up until I saw that picture. I got a similar model with a white glaze coming. Lets see a full report! I hope they are as awe-inspiring in person as in the pictures.

    Can't wait. Thought I could. It's currently heating for a test lather. Report is coming.

    Must go.....scuttle awaits.
