Thread: Your preferred bowl to lather in

$0.50 bowl from one of the local flea markets. Looks like it might have originally been a chefs pinch bowl, but I have no clue if it really is true.

I have a real scuttle, pretty but never used! Local thrift stores are my source for pottery.

Regards

I tend to use the one I made the most because it fits in the palm of my hand and is the right size. The one from Symmetrical Pottery is very nice and worth the money but a little large. For it to work the best, you'd really have to keep a soap in the bottom of it. The Moss scuttle is a great lathering bowl even though she doesn't advertise it for lathering, rather for keeping your lathered brush warm. The dirty bird is great too, but large.

I have the same dirty bird scuttle and love it! May have to get another, as SWMBO knocked a big chip off of it. (Still works fine, but sure is a good excuse to buy another)

Have two purpose made shaving bowls. One from Maria Arman of Through the Fire Fine Craft.

Another by Shawn Summers on Etsy



The Maria Arman is my favorite bowl.
But I have recently received a Georgetown Pottery scuttle, and it will most likely be my permanent lather companion.

My favorite at present is a J. Mika scuttle. Good size for my Stirling Kong brush, and lathers very well due to the "scratches" . Can't find a shop on the net where they sell them. The scuttle is from Poland, and I got it through a group-buy on the Dutch Shavingsociety.

I have Edwin Jagger mug and I love it. Nice handle and relief bottom which help to make lather.

Nice scuttle. I'm a designer of this bowl made by Mika in Poland. I have got first piece ever. Cost in shop is about 10-15$. Unfortunately one seller who lives near this pottrery, buys these scuttles and sells on ebay about 200% more expensive.

I use a Muhle mug or a scuttle from SRD.

You designed a great scuttle Lewy! The members of the Dutch Shavingsociety who bought the scuttle really like it a lot. One of the members with contacts in Polen arranged the shipment from Polen to Holland, and we got them for a fair price.
Unfortunately I can't find them on the Internet.

I like my SWK XL very in the winter.
