Kamisori Club Shaving Scuttle
View attachment 12484
Overview:
This is a small Japanese made shaving scuttle. It is produced by Kamisori Club, one of the only shaving speciality shops in Tokyo. This product is not currently being sold outside of Japan, but there was interest in on the forums so I decided to get one and write a review.
Price:
This shaving scuttle is quite inexpensive. It only set me back 1,680 yen (~$14.50 USD as of 10/18/07).
Size:
Outer dimensions: (13 cm x 9 cm)
Brush compartment: (7 cm x 7 cm 4 cm deep)

Performance:
As you can see it is rather small. In the picture it is shown with my Shavemac XL, which is on the larger side. Even though it is small, I can manage to make a lather with my brush. Since I am generally a face-latherer it does just fine keeping my brush nice and warm. This cup would best be suited for smaller brushes and travel. It's light weight is also a plus.
Quality/Durability:
The scuttle is made out of good quality white ceramic. Although the walls are not super thick, it seems to be durable as any other shaving mug.
Design:
Very simple and functional. The front side has the Kamisori Club logo on it. The bottom of the brush compartment is slightly textured to aid in lathering.
Usefulness:
This scuttle is perfect if you're using a small brush. It also doubles as a brush stand and razor holder when you're not using it. This mug is also well suited for travel purposes (as long as you don't mind the risk of it breaking.)
Packaging:
A non-descript white box. It does the job and keeps the mug protected during shipping.
