Item Description
In my quest for a decent scuttle, any pottery-based contraption was not an option: For some reason, all my previous pottery-based shaving mugs and bowls were smashed to pieces. Hence, decided to get an old Victorian scutter made by Vulfix. [Thought: They make decent brushes, so they must know a thing or two about shaving.]
The product is marvelous. I pour boiling water in it and let it sit while I am whipping lather in a separate bowl. Then I just put my brush, full of leather, on top of the scuttle, bristles down, while I am softening my beard with a hot towel. If you whip good, thick lather and your brush has a relatively heavy handle, it will stand vertical on top of the scuttle. The steam from the scuttle will make the lather moist and heavy. And hot!
The scuttle will remain sufficiently hot for at least 15 minutes, more than enough to get a solid BBS with three passes.
The product isn't cheap, so I gave it 5* for the price.
