I had to announce this somewhere, 'cause I'm seriously jazzed!
yesterday my Georgetown Pottery Scuttle arrived, the G3 model. I'd post pics but I don't currently have a digital camera. It's Cobalt & Purple, but I requested about 80-90% Cobalt, and that's exactly what I got. The Dark blue extends all the way to the top. Only the rim, the mouth of the spout and the interior 'ridges' have a little pale lavender to them.
This piece is extraordinary.
I baptised this fine piece of crockery with Mama Bear's Aged Spice, and friends, I have never had such lather. Mama Bear soaps will lather if you look at them funny as is, but the ridges in the scuttle and the angle of the interior bowl brought every breath or air and every drop of water into the mix. It gave me an amazing lather, a lather that stayed warm and thick for 4 passes. I left the remainder in the scuttle uncovered overnight. I have lukewarm lather still, not as fluffy but usable nonetheless!
It's uncanny, this lather.
When I spoke to Lori, she mentioned how much fun it's been learning about our community and our needs. Apparently, the folks at Georgetown love the idea of supplying us, so much so that they are considering a razor/brush stand idea of mine (among others as well, I'm not the only design on the board) and I mentioned soap mugs, shallow and with interior ribs like an Old Spice shaving mug, but with a lid.
They may consider it.
Seems we're a specific but amusing bunch to throw clay for, and they dig our feedback.
If you have always like quality matching goodies for your shave den and you believe in the relaxing and luxurious aspects of wet shaving, give Georgetown a call.
Get their scuttle and tell them you want to see more products fired and glazed with the wet shaver in mind.
