Thank you my friend! It was a bit expensive with shipping to Norway ($ 44.00) but I think I found the same container on another website.I got a plain container from Amazon and put an Arko label on it. Here is a link to it:
For me the face-lathering is a key part in the face prep routine, whether I'm using a hard soap or a cream. And since it's step in the face prep, I lather for a good 2-3 minutes, then leave the lather to sit on my face for another 5-10 minutes, then re-lather for another minute or so and off we go. Perfect shave every time.
Yes, the struggles of us retired folks is real my friends!I've been using my face for a bowl most of the summer, but it will soon be scuttle season.
Advantages:
1. Very handy place to soak my boar brush during shower.
2. Can whip the lather as fast as I like/can without having it fly around the bathroom (although I have learned to whip slower while face lathering, so that's not a problem with my SOC badger - synthetic can be interesting).
3. Warm lather for the first pass, warmer lather for the second pass, even warmer lather for the third pass. This is really great in the middle of NY winters.
4. Very handy place to wash the brush after shave. I run the water into the scuttle and whip the brush around the bowl the same as making lather. Exceedingly clean in a jiffy, as it's sitting in water that is constantly refreshed.
5. No added irritation from the brush twirling on the skin repeatedly.
6. My Georgetown G12 is pretty.
Disadvantages:
1. It's one step away on a shelf, which must take at least 4 seconds to grab, and then another 14 seconds to dry and put back on the shelf. I'm sure I could do that faster, but I'm retired and don't care about the added seconds.
But I get it. I have a Shopsmith in my wood shop and it always irritates me to switch to the drill press mode, despite only taking seconds. It's not that I have a great plan for those 35 seconds, it just feels like a pain.
