    I agree, I suppose if I had a deeper medicine cabinet or a larger sink counter I would enjoy the oversized DB but as I mentioned in my first post, the G5 is already bigger than expected. Again, as a new comer to SR shaving I have no other reference. As for heat retention, I fill the G5 with hot tap water once to warm it up and then drain and refill to start lathering...stays nice and hot for the duration of my shave.

    I think I'm beginning to see the appeal of the Dirty Bird, if it in fact gets hot and stays hot on the first fill then it's worth the real estate it takes up. I have to admit I wish I didn't have to refill the G5 2-3 times to get it hot. Also, i sent an email to Georgetown Pottery telling then that they need to increase the height of the scuttle to allow for more sidewall area. I realized that my lather was really heated more from the brush than the scuttle.

    Used my new DB 1.5 last night...it was everything they said it would be. I've used other scuttles in the past, but this particular one was an eye opener. Stayed warm (not lukewarm) for the duration of my 4 pass shave, never needed to reheat the water, lather didn't break down at all...and sturdy enough to stay put while I built my lather to begin with. I look forward to my next shave.
