Item Description
There are several scuttles on the market. This one is made in the US and I'm proud when I can buy or advise anything that's made in the USA. True, German products are considered top notch, Shavemac, Tabac, Speick, Ansgar included! 
but if I can keep my money in the country where I reside I do so if possible. Georgetown pottery is one of those companies. They are located on the east coast in Maine and are very friendly and professional. It took me 8 weeks to receive my scuttle but it was definitely worth the wait. They are working on a mold which would bring ordering and delivery much faster to normal standards. The scuttle is available in different patterns/colors: Blue Oribe & Purple, Cobalt & Purple, Green Oribe & Purple, Hamada & Blue, Hamada & Persimmon, Hamada & Purple,... All are exquisite imo. I chose for Blue Oribe & Purple since it was closer to the coloring I loved and what would fit in my bathroom. The packaging was very secure and well wrapped when I did receive my UPS delivery.
The scuttle isn't a lightweight either and feels pretty solid. The finishing and glaze is top notch. It's all hand made so small imperfections might arise but that's the charm of anything custom hand made. The scuttle does exactly what it's designed to do. Keep your lather warm. Adding hot water is a breeze and now with the added lip it's very easy to dispose of the remaining water after you're done. The scuttle is also just wide enough to whip up any meringue like lather and even rest your brush during passes.
If you like to complete your shaving experience I would recommend you to get a scuttle. It's definitely not going to break the bank and it's very affordable. It's very difficult to predict the durability of the scuttle but as long as you don't drop it on the floor I think you're safe for a long life of your Georgetown scuttle.
