Thread: My G-Town Pottery scuttle has a new big brother!

So what are we talking for price for either one of those things? I have a makeshift scuttle, or as I like to call it my "ghetto scuttle" that I made out of a puck dish and a big soup cup. It works just fine, but I feel a bit ghettotastic everytime I fire it up. I'm going to ask for a scuttle as a present, for some occasion...sometime.

Actually, I dont really think you need that small one since you have that mammoth sized one. You may as well send it my way. I'm sure its a tax write off... See, then I could ask for a new brush instead. That makes more sense all the way around...

Like I said, the georgetown scuttle is my backup.

So...

If a bad guy breaks into my house and he "happens" to fall and hit his head several times on my super scuttle, then when our local law enforcement shows up, the CSI guys will see that he was armed with a very clean "throwdown scuttle" that the bad guy tried to unsuccessfully attack me with in the middle of the night.

Hey... it could happen


That is of course if you guys don't rat me out!!

Nah, I used to be stationed in Sierra Vista and I still have my CC permit for AZ, I'd just shoot him several times. No need to hurt any shaving gear. It Arizona for crying out loud, they practically EXPECT you to shoot them. Thats just the way it goes.

Seriously though, what did that G-town Scuttle cost you, I am going to have to get one. Unless you think its worth it to just go ahead and by the big one from the get go. And in that case, how much did IT cost?

The Georgetown Pottery scuttle cost me $46.00 (that included shipping). You need to go to their website to look at the colors of the glaze. They do not however have any examples of the scuttle on the website.

The glaze color of my scuttle is "Hamada Blue".

Dave,

That is the Vater von alle Scuttels!

The Schwarttzweisskeramik website is in German. How did you place the order?
Did you e-mail them in English? Do they answer e-mail questions in English?

I got an A in German in college, but that was a long time ago.

Yeeeesh. We must be overloading Georgetown Pottery with orders. I got the go ahead from the wife on Sunday to order one, and when I placed my order on Monday, I was informed that they are three to four weeks behind.

Not that I am complaining! I can certainly wait!

Way to go Byron guess I will have to get one soon!

Down on the bottom left of the web page is a link to the english version of the website next a picture of the Union Jack.

Or you could just put this link into your web browser:

good pics, I been wanting to see a comparison between the two.

I got the georgetown and it is great for mixing lather right in it, how is the other for mixing lather directly in it and how does it compare as far as keeping the lather warm?

The Super Scuttle tends to keep the lather warm longer. I would say that this is due to the immense size of the scuttle. Therefore more surface area to use as a "heat sink" if you will.

I typically fill up the scuttle before I shower and let is sit almost completely underwater in my bathroom sink. Then, after the shower is over I will dump the water out, fill up the inner space with hot water and then mix lather in the center exterior bowl.

This thing is so big and heavy that I can create lather one handed (I don't have to hold the scuttle or the handle) it just sits on my sink top counter.

I actually have my Georgetown scuttle sitting on my counter and it holds a couple of tubes of shaving cream and a custom made Merkur Progress (otherwise known as a "Mergress"). I use the double edge for a quick shave when I don't have time to baby myself with a good relaxing str8 shave.
