Look at your sink,
Take the Hot Water Knob/Faucet off there
Now use the Scuttle, and things begin to make more sense
Face lathering rocks :rock:
I usually just take the hottest tap water from faucet fill scuttle and let everything sit in that water while I shave .. get out of shower dump scuttle refill with tap water then start the lather..
Well, whatever works for you I suppose. Certainly not the way I have used a similar scuttle and definitely not convinced you need hot water to produce a good lather either. Been cold water shaving for over 6 months now.

I just use hot water to get a nice warm lather..
Nothing says you can't use cold water for the shave...
But these styles of scuttles were designed to hold hot water in the old days, nowadays we have choices :)
Basically you didn't need the scuttle for a cold water shave, back then you could just pump the cold water out lather and shave...
Now we don't even need the scuttle for a hot water shave, we can simply turn on the hot water lather and shave..
Not a big fan of a puck in there either... I find it works better to load the brush and put a touch of hot water in to the bowl of the scuttle to build ur lather
Yea, I know they were designed for using hot water in them and that was their choice back then too as they did have the cold water option out of the pump also. Could be the soaps back then made using hot a necessity, dunno. Really the only reason to use one today is for a bit of nostalgia and I am all for that. Using a DE with that set up is a little jarring too. YMMV
