So I have my georgetown pottery scuttle and am loving it.

when I shave, I pour boiling water into it and into the bowl to charge while I am in the shower (I also dunk the brush)

when I get out I dump the bowl but leave the "chamber" of the scuttle filled.

My question is, is this water too hot? Seems to be comfortable for me, but I sometimes wonder if it's making it harder to build lather....
