Wow! Try a scuttle

When I started shaving with a straight I bought the VDH kit and went at it. Then I started to buy soaps (lots of soaps), creams eventually a couple better brushes, and some ceramic shaving bowls. I thought it could not get much better. I loved shaving. The beautiful bowl, soft brush, super close shave.

I just picked up a handmade scuttle. WOW!

I will have to start dusting off my beautiful bowls now because the hot lather in the scuttle is going to ruin me for shaving any other way. If you are torn between scuttle and bowl as I was try the scuttle. Hot lather for second and third passes is very nice.

It is a nice luxury. Just something about hot/warm lather.

Another vote here for scuttles. I love using my SWK XL scuttle :)

Yeah, I agree. I have a Dirty Bird scuttle and use it almost every shave unless I'm using Arko, or another hard soap and face lathering.

I agree with the scuttle as being great. I have a hollow one that holds hot water to keep the lather warm. Very nice !!!!

Well i mostly face lather but also i have a gp g12 scuttle. i also love using it and it makes great lather

Lol yes I enjoy it very much. You can always trust ze German's to over engineer something and it seems scuttles are no exeption. I swear I could leave the lather over night and it would still be warm in the morning :D
