I the last few days back with soaps and creams rather than hi-tech gel I have been lathering in a little but heavy earthenware kitchen bowl, and keeping it warm by leaving it in a the sink half full of water as recommended in those excellent YouTube Tutorials. This seems a simple and good solution when you have hot water on tap.
Now I look at the Moss Scuttle:

And observe:
1.The hot water reservoir is not very large and so the combined thermal capacity of the earthenware and the water cannot be great.
2. The diameter of the inner bowl does not seem great enough to work with the brush.
3. If I was looking for a tidier solution than a bowl standing in the sink I think I might be looking for something a little larger all round. A small Bain Marie (double pan with water bath) might do the job better - they are used in the kitchen for preparing foods and sauces that need a gentle heat.
At 1.7 litres (3.6 US Pints) this is too big

Any comments?
