Thread: Lather

I think I need to get one of these

I leave my cream/soap a little drier when loading. I then cover my face in hot water right before applying the lather to my face. As I work it up on my face, I add droplets of HOT water to the brush. Much cheaper option for a warm feel

I have the G20 from Georgetown Pottery. It's great; it holds a ton of hot water, so I warm it initially, dump, then fill again with hot water before I shower, while also soaking my brush in the bowl. Everything is still nice and warm after my shower, and my brush is ready to go.

I have some sort of tin thing, resembles a cup with a handle, that I soak my brush in hot water while I'm showering. When I get out I empty the old water and use just the water on the brush to lather with. My face doesn't like piping hot water. I find this works well for me. As I make a second pass the temp gets cooler, which for me is better. If the temp outside drops to -30 or so, I use warmer water. That's what works for me. My cup doesn't hold temp well, if that's something you like/need depending on your face...then look for it, but they are worth it IMO.

Happy shaves man!

I have recently gone to just luke warm water on my face before the shave but I really like my lather warm and have had three different skuttles. My current choice is a Dirty Bird. Would not enjoy the shave as much without a skuttle to use, always part of my daily routine.

Just use cold water and face lather.

I'm also in the market for a scuttle. the problem I'm running into is they are very expensive

One scuttle will last a lifetime. Try eBay, you might find a deal there.

thanks, I've looked before for a while. Most of those are the old school ones where you put the soap on top. I'm probably just gonna bite the bullet and fork over the cash for the Georgetown pottery g12 its the nicest one I can find

Take a look at the Dirty Bird Pottery, too
