Thread: lathering in a moss scuttle?

One of the best pieces of advise I have ever seen!

I ordered a large one to be delivered to the UK - ouch!

If I read Dr Moss's instructions right, he bowl lathers in his scuttle then lathers the face. You should have no problem lathering in the large Moss with a smaller brush. I can't imagine a 28mm Thater doing too well in one though.

Hello, Victor:

I have no experience with the Moss scuttle. From what I have read, the smaller version is not well suited for lathering; however, the larger one works well for lathering.

And, yes, shipping charges from Canada are heavy.

I have the Dirty Bird 1.5 scuttle and it is perfect for me in every way. I also have the Oskar and like it almost as much.

Regards,

Obie

i've pretty much set my mind on the dirtybird.. i have an ad in the classified looking to purchase a used on.. no one has chimed in yet.. i'll most likely end up ordering the small dirtybird in the next month or so.

Hey Victor, I did get a chance to lather in my Moss that came in today. I will say that the large size Moss scuttle works well for a small brush. My Plisson is a 17mm knot but has a large bulb shape and I had ample room to swirl, however, you may want to consider the DB if you use larger brushes and want to continue comfortably bowl lathering. The Moss probably will allow for up to a 22-24 mm knotted brush and still lather well. Anything bigger would most likely be cramped. Just wanted to chime in with my 2 cents.

Hey Victor,

I got my Dirtybird last week and used it 3 times now and I LOVE it!!!!!! Great hot ubber WOW! and it's staying hot for long time. Before I receive it I was cold shaving and it was great but the scuttle brings an extra luxury of hot lather. I LOVE IT.

cheers

wow this scuttle works great with the swirl in side i went from good lather to super lather the first time i used it and it kept the lather nice and warm while i was stroping i filled the scuttle up with hot water inside and out and left it in a sink full of hot water so the scuttle could warm up finished stroping dumped all the water out and refilled with hot water what a great shave and the best lather i've made i dont know how i ever live with out it
