Never used a scuttle before. Which one would be better, G12 or G20. Does it make a difference if my brush is a WD 24mm 50mm?

I believe the bowl size is the same or similar and the reservoir is the only difference (though I could be wrong
so you may want to check the website). I have the 20 and use it every shave.

I received my G12 scuttle today and took it for a spin. The blending of the Hamata and Blue is phenomenal, and it really feels like you're holding a piece of artwork when you pick this thing up. On bottom, mine has "GP-13," which I assume means it was made in 2013. For those of you that have one on order, I received an email from Georgetown Pottery saying that they were waiting for the Pewter stoppers, which was holding up a few shipments.
Since my tap water is not too hot, I put some water in a kettle, heated it up, and transferred it to the scuttle. I did a four pass shave and had hot lather the entire time. The only drawback to hot lather is that about twenty to thirty seconds after hitting your face, it's cold again.

Great looking scuttle. Love your choice in colors.

The last time I talked to Debbie, they had most all colors in G5, G12, and G20 seconds. This is the link. I recommend you call about the seconds.

They don't make a brush scuttle per se. I guess the G5 would work tho. Becker states that ceramic holds heat better, just not as durable if dropped.
Just ordered a G12 "second" in hamata/blue
Now the waiting begins

Can someone with both verify the bowl size is the same? I'm putting these scuttles on my next to buy list, but can't decide to do the 12 or the 20. Opinions? If you buy a second it is only a $5 price difference.
Ordered my G20 this past weekend in black. Can't wait to get it.
My G12 arrived. Its beautiful and works great. I may have microwaved it too long the first time, the foamy lather got a hard edge to it and wouldnt build up. Pouring the water out and adding hot tap water produced a normal & thick lather the 2nd time.
Warm lather and a warm brush is great. Didnt think I would notice or appreciate the difference. My silvertip brush stays quite warm through 3 passes.
