Size:  82.0 KBI saw this on ETSY a few days ago, then found one on a local buy-sell site and picked it up yesterday. Works great. I don't imagine there is a huge difference between one Moss-type scuttle and another, but I'm sold on the concept. Used it this morning for a nice, slow 3 pass straight-razor shave, and still had warm / hot lather at the end. Pure luxury.

    I use this bowl that I picked up at a thrift store for a dollar. The little ridges in it really help build a thick lather.

    My Schwarzweisskeramik scuttle, king of the shave den. All other shaving gear must bow to it and pay it taxes.

    Went to Wal-Mart this morning and they had them for $1.00. Used it when we got back and it was a lather making machine. Thanks for the information!!!

    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.

    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.

    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.
