Thread: How do you keep your lather hot?

I use the large size of the Moss scuttle,here's the link:Sara Bonnyman Pottery: Moss Scuttle . I like the large scuttle because it gives me plenty of room to whip up my soap right in it. Sometimes I may have to charge the brush twice,but I can always get nice hot lather that lasts through a lazy 3 pass shave. There's a duty charge for the Moss Scuttle as it comes from Canada but there are some made here in the U.S. Just use your search engine of choice for shaving scuttle and check out some reviews.

I had a DB scuttle, but have since abandoned it and gone to face lathering, and haven't worried so much about how warm my lather is (same conclusion as BigSpendur).

However, since Autumn is upon us, I do find myself pondering a DB brush scuttle....

A small Moss scuttle does it for me. Warm lather not hot. I have the scuttle and the lather bowl sitting in the sink full of hot water while I'm in the shower to preheat. Replace the hot tap water in the scuttle and it keeps the lather warm for the second pass.

4. Work up lather in cup with soap (hot water)
5. Only apply lather to part of face I'm going to shave immediatly
6. A little more hot water on brush and repeat.

The lather isn't even close to the hot water I'm using. Any ideas short of a barber machine?

Thanks.

BTW, I just saw Lynn's tip #3. Haven't tried it yet, but any more ideas?

If you build lather on your face vs. in the cup, then you can drizzle some hot water into the base of your brush between applications.

i have been filling sink with hot water putting the soap and mug in the sink and putting my brush in hot water as well to soak... shower... drain sink and glass add new fresh hot water...make lather..put back into sink full of hot water wait a few min....stir and lather some more and by this time you should have some pretty warm and thick lather going....only apply on your face what your going to shave right away so it stays warm in the sink

Superb product from a master crafter!

Yep, I have one of those and they work very well. I usually just use hot water from the tap, but I've been thinking of boiling some water and pour in to see if it lasts longer. My only concern there is that it might get too hot and start to dry out the lather. But if that happens you can just add a little water and work it up a bit...
